Snow on the Pines
Just a quick pic a took of the douglas firs I set outside the left side of the porch. Some folks were pitchin em in a dumpster down the street so Wilba and I salvaged them. Now when you walk out of my house if you look to the left you see to pine tree's and doesn't seem like your in the city so much.
Look out for those sneaky Leprechauns

Mad River MTN.
Pinus strobus 'Torulosa'- Contored White Pine A.K.A. The Coolest Freakin Evergreen Growin!
- Conifer, evergreen tree, needles much twisted and to a lesser degree the branches.
- Hardy to USDA Zone 3
- Jacobson (1996) states that this selection was introduced in about 1977 and, therefore, the cultivar name is invalid since "latinized" cultivar names have been forbidden since 1959. This selection apparently is often confused with the older and much rarer selection, ‘Contorta’ (Contorted White Pine), which was named in 1931. ‘Contorta’ is described as having a twisted trunk, branches and young shoots ascending and twisted, and needles densely arranged, 5-8 cm long, and cones 4-7 cm long (Krüssmann, 1985).
