Can I have a clue is it a two needle pine?
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

This was a large needle, two needle pine. Possibly a Roxburghii or Ponderosa.

Not sure.

At a guess without a better pic i would have to say Pinus Nigra Austriaca . The ponderosa or western yellow is a 3 needle pine , with 150mm needles that grow at right angles to the branch

A quick reference check and the Roxburghii or Indian pine is also a 3 needle pine with a finer needle than the ponderosa , but with a weeping habit to the needles very similar to the Bhutan pine and Montezuma Pine
