[edit] Help identifying pine species
Hi. I'm hoping one of you tree expert-types can help me identify the species in this picture http://www.cayoosh.net/pix/cleven/bridgecanyon99.jpg - not sure if it's a Ponderosa or Lodgepole or maybe something else. The area this is from has a lot of such snag-type pines - I was looking for another picture or two from other locations, and maybe one with a closeup of the needles; I know I don't have a closeup of the bark for sure. The location is on the inland side of the Coast Mountains in British Columbia, about 20 mi W of Lillooet, British Columbia, which is in Ponderosa Pine range as well as Lodgepole.Skookum1 21:40, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Definitely not Ponderosa
[edit] Article needs more ordinary information
The issues elaborated in the article are specialized and not of sufficient value to the layman looking up information on a common western pine tree. Can't there be more useful data about tree's habitat, structure, growing habits, and economics uses? These are the sorts of things which predominate in the interests of an encyclopedia user. I don't mind being talked to like a teenager, as long as the information is clear, accurate, readable and useful. NaySay 17:19, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Scent
The Jeffrey Pine page says that its own scent is vanilla while the Ponderosa Pine has a turpentine scent, whereas this page says Ponderosas have a vanilla scent. I was taught that the Jeffrey was more Pineapple/tropical, whereas the Ponderosa was more vanilla. Perhaps an expert can reconcile these pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bramblez (talk • contribs) 05:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
