EOT: Lodge Pole Pine

This tree was originally acquired from Michael Hagedorn in 2016. Initially, it was a much longer tree, and then it was approach-grafted with its own foliage. After the approach graft took, the older foliage was removed. Currently, the whole tree is built with the approach-graft.

In Tyler's Private collection.
