Re: Monterey Pine
i believe that P. Radiata is one of the fastest growing pines. Im
wondering what will all those people in Carmel do once their trees die
(from old age or the fungus). ANyhow, i was in cambria just sunday and
i saw several trees that were already dead from pitch canker fungus or
starting to die. Its a beautiful place and looks quite different from
the surrounding countryside because of its P. radiata forest. While
getting there i also saw some beautiful madrones, and a type of pine
that i had never seen. This one had long needles, a kind of grey green,
and was more of a gumdrop or "sucker" shape (multiple branches). They
didnt grow like the monterey pines, and were quite airy looking. I know
its a horrible description but does anyone have a hint to what kind of
pines those are (theyre in southern monterey county, close to morro
bay).
