Marvelous pics, I'm glad that I met Jerry personaly in 2004!
He's one of the worlds best special conifers hunters ever!
Nate, you did a lot of work to show us these pics, I know it's a lot of work to scan these and to place them at this forum!

Edwin, I'm glad you are enjoying these!

OK Nate, some weeks ago I asked you as having seen the Pinus flexilis #351 in Denver/Chatfield, what about the previous 350? I understood in a second, that they are all living anywhere.

Now I buy a bigger refregirator, fill it with food, and just see the impossible conifer adventures...

Do care nothing, this is conifering history!

Nate, Is Pinus flexilis '#10' realy a yellowish one?
Is there a yellow cultivar of Pinus flexilis availlable?

Housekeeping items. In the third pic of this thread, the treetop broom is Picea engelmannii; the eighth pic is a dwarf Pseudotsuga menziesii, near Dillon CO.

Dave, glad you enjoyed this. It's been alot of fun for me to go through these photos.
And a big thanks to Jerry for graciously loaning them out for a while.

Zsolt, sounds good - do you have frites?

Edwin, I think the #10 color is from being shaded out by the sagebrush.
Jerry has a different cultivar named 'Yellow' which is growing at the Denver Botanic Garden.
I may try and get to the mother tree this winter.
