An old rock-clinging ponderosa pine, hanging off a cliff. Based on past samples this tree would likely be in the 150-200 year old range. While it might have a collectable root system, there's no good way to reach the tree. The photo was taken from above, using the zoom lens.
306. Tree #306P768. SOLD Species: Ponderosa pine. Age: 9 years. Collected: 5/2017. Price: $75. Estimated shipping: $45. Comments: A pine forest I planted from seed on a shale slab in 2017. 12 trees. The tallest is 5".
Roots spilling down. Tree reaching up for sun.

SOLD
Species: Ponderosa pine.
Estimated age: 25 years.
Collected: 11/2025.

Comments: This tree had the misfortune to be in a forest thinning project. It was lopped off with a chainsaw, but some lower branches survived and regrew the trunk. Now it would like to meet someone who will "try a little tenderness."
