Season's greetings:
Before I ask my question I just wanted to take the time to tell
you how much I enjoy reading all your Q & A's. It's very informative
and I appreciate each and every one of your expertise.
We have a large pine tree on our street that has probably been
in the neighborhood some 50 plus years. This year, all of a sudden it
began to produce and dropping small, wooden rosettes (for lack of a
better word). They're pine cones that look like roses. I was just
curious as to what it was. I've always heard rumors that it was a very
rare pine. Now with all these beautiful wooden roses dropping all
around, I believe it!!! Can anyone tell me what kind of pine it is? It
stands a good 50 feet high.
