Submitted by Tyler (no last name given). “I took a trip to visit a buddy of mine who lives in the Bitterroot Mountains in western Montana. I found many naturally occurring bonsai but this one really looked the part. It was just jammed between these huge rocks on the side of a mountain overlooking a river valley. Hope you like it!”
What it is?
It’s best when people send along the name of the tree (as well as their last name), though I suspect that people often don’t know what it is. In this case, my first guess was lodgepole pine, but then I noticed the reddish bark, so I’m going with Ponderosa pine. Anyone else?
