Five Year Native Tree Challenge: akraftbeer's Western White Pine (Pinus Monticola)

[woodkraftbonsai]

Hello all!

This is the first contest I've entered on here. I might even try and find another tree to enter in.

I collected this small western white pine in the summer (August 2020). Nothing super special about it.

It's pretty young, but was the first tree I've collected and I'm excited to see where I can take it over the next few years.

Thanks!

I’m actually really interested to see what you do with that little tree. You’ve got solid potential for literati.

Thanks! That’s my initial thought as well. We’ll see how it goes!

It's doing good! Had some wire on it for the past year or so, thought about putting it into a pot this year, but decided to hold off for now. The needles remained relatively small, surprisingly. I don't think I have any pictures right now, but I'll try and take some soon.
