From: James Parton <[email protected]> Subject: [ENTS] Re: Letchworth SP east side; Bizarre White Pine To: "ENTSTrees" <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, March 8, 2009, 2:34 PM Steve, This one of yours reminds me of one Will Blozan and I measured at the Kellogg Center near Hendersonville NC. It has a huge very short trunk with multiple huge upward growing trunks growing out and upward. It's appearance is so bizarre that I have named it the " Octopus Pine ". http://www.nativetreesociety.org/fieldtrips/north_carolina/kellogg/kellogg_conference_center.htm http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees/browse_thread/thread/3e2ef51e831be6a5?hl=en It is the big field pine near the bottom of Will's post.
