Just another Radiata

This Radiata was collected in the early 90s by John & Shirley White and was given to me when they left Canberra in the late 90s.

The mature bark suggests it was an old specimen when it was dug.

As you can see it is still progressing to the shape I have working toward for the last 10 years.

An excellent specimen Peter it'll be awesome in a few years.

Great to see it in Canberra and great to see more use of Radiata.

Do your Radiata pines have any particular care requirements or do you just treat them much the same as JBP?

Cheers

Scott.

quick question on these, i think i have a few hundred whips of these out the back of my place but the needles look huge compared to this one, have you reduced the needles on this and how did you go about it??
