By Larry jackel, it's called Pondersona pine....and deals with it's capture ( yamadori) taming and care. I've seen some beautiful examples of this pine
that were dug from the wild but very few articles in all my magazines on caring for it. So I was tickled to find something in depth. Funny, with Koi I have been lately focused on, are coming from domestic producers
and now with bonsai am getting more and more interested in native trees as bonsai.
I couldn't find a photo in my snapshots of native trees of ponderosa but this native hemlock is pretty neat
Another book I did manage to find on NE trees was nick lenz and `Bonsai from the wild. I lucked out and got an autographed copy. his specialty is larch.
After I get done with the ponderosa pine book, i'll have to find one!
