PINE I.D PLEAASE

Post by rockkcorful »

Hi there all!,

I acquired this pine for free two years ago and put it in my grandparents garden to gain a decent caliber trunk. I am just wondering if anyone knows the species of pine? It was dug by the fella I obtained it from in northern NSW if that is of any assistance. Hopefully I can then begin looking at some styling ideas. :fc:

not thinking black pine as the needles are a bit thinner

Pinus Insedit?

Does anyone speak latin?

::EDIT::

I was trying to write Miscellaneous Pine, but I don't speak latin and google translate betrayed me... :palm:

I don't trust Bonsai, they are a little shady.

If it was dug from northern nsw my guess would be P. radiata. Or at least what I think of as P. radiata. There is a lot of self sown pines around me that I've never formally identified but are remnants of plantations
