Ordered from Forest Farm

I put in my Forest Farm order for the year: three Larix lyallii (subalpine larch) and one Pinus longaeva (Great Basin bristlecone pine). The total inlcuding shipping was under $100, so I think I can congratulate myself for showing restraint.

Of course, it remains to be seen if this is really my order "for the year". It is only February!

Hey ! Been some moths now. How DID it go ?

The Larix were a bit of a trial. As soon as I transplanted them (in late May) they wilted. They stayed wilted throughout the long hot summer but, incredibly, have apparently survived. I'm hopeful that they might survive the winter and take off next year.

The bristlecone pine is doing great in a pot on my porch. It was too small for immediate transplant.

Thanks for the opportunity to plant trees. My son loves to watch plants/trees grow and help keeping the plant green. :)
