Holy smokes Pots. What has taken you so long? I have never once seen a tree photo from you, maybe I missed another time youve done it? Is the upload process so arduous that posting your trees to shut everyone up is not worth it?!? In all seriousness, Please do post more. These are great trees and in the background I think I see more?
Somewhere here is personal Douglas Fir grown from volunteer seedling in another trees pot. Also shows one of Randy Knight Ponderosas in collection.

Nice bristlecone, Pots!

Here’s a photo of mine. A young seedling. Perhaps this is what yours looked like many years ago. :) I love to appreciate the strange resin that collects on the needles of bristlecone.

Personally could live without sticky/black fingers🤨but is unique trait of aristata and helps ID from others in family. Yours looks about 7 years before this years growth.
