Yamadori. Does size have anything to do with survival in a pot?

Aftercare is most important, rootball size, and where it was collected.

What is that larger conifer in the middle of your photo above and how tall is it? Did you recently collect it? Nice looking tree!

Ah OK, was thinking about getting the 48 foot heating cables, runs around $40.

Two questions, and I'll assume you meant 9/4/20....what pine is it, and how in the world did you get something that big into that small sized box?

Yes, I am still working on the time travel skills.
I believe it is a Limber Pine
I collected this off the side of a cliff and it was growing on top of a flat stone.
To dig this tree out was mostly a pick hammer and chisel.

Really it was luck and opportunity.

5 needles?

Yes, that is why I believe it is a limber pine.

Here is a Colorado Blue Spruce that was collected off the continental divide on the same trip.
