I know it is a long shot but hoping some of you can help with ID for a couple of pines I've found down here. I can't give any natural range to work with as all pines here have been imported however these have naturalized in a sub-alpine ski resort area in our mountains where it contends with snow for 3-6 months of the year at 1500m (about 4,500 ft).
I have tried working through the pine keys but I don't understand all the terms used to differentiate so got nowhere pretty fast with that.
Tree 1 is a 2 needle species. This one is the largest left after the area was cleared of 'weeds' a few years ago.
These are some of the seedlings that are germinating all through the area.
