Pinus sabinianaHavainnoija
themannextdoorKuvaus
Small loose stand, half dozen smaller trees are likely offspring of the one large tree, homeowner says they don't fruit much, have very hard time getting seedlings to grow, and grow extremely slowly when they do. Unsure if the original was planted or naturally growing, but judging from its size and the owner's description it's probably been there for a very long time to grow to that size that slowly, outside of its normal range.

Base of road to the "B" campsites, by the east side gatepost. Elevation 14 feet. I removed all the plants shown here and others, but many were tiny and I probably missed some. Habitat sandy soil, with the little plants in darker but still sandy soil that looks like it held water until recently.

Needles in bundles of 5, roughly two inches long. Such a cool spiral pattern to the dead wood on the trunks. I wonder why that’s happened.

Along the ditch running parallel to the runway. Flushed the first 2 about 50 ft apart, and the 3rd about 500 ft further along. All flew past me to the west behind me, so these are distinct individuals. Also heard on my walk back.
