There is a ponderosa pine three quarters of mile up the road from my house that has a burl nearly as big as the burl in the photo I posted, and I know of a ponderosa pine in a side canyon that has a burl that is close to four feet across. There is something about the land and climate in this part of Colorado that allows the ponderosas to grow burls.
Hey, Ansel....nice photographs!
ReplyDeleteI do not believe that I have ever seen a burl on any species of pine.
