My Wild Tree Collecting Journey

[Potawatomi13]

i Haven’t collected anything but if you are looking for something lightweight to help with energy while out hiking way up there try gu gels.

Oxygen generator might work well also.

Some photos a ponderosa. Focusing a lot more on restriction of the root ball.

What's the mix that you're using there? I looks like a 80-20 mix of pumice-pine bark.
Also, do you have any tips for collecting pines or aftercare? I'm looking to collect a few younger pines in early spring (first time).

100% pumice.
Have fun, don't over water, be aware of the summer heat and deep winter cold the first year of collection
