Of course many conifers other than junipers exhibit similar behavior in nature. The difference with junipers is that you can never cut off a branch & have the trunk callus over. With pine trees, you can make a jin if you want one, or cut the branch off if you choose to. Pines callus over eventually.

The rocks in the photo look like granites or maybe granitoid gneisses. And the bush on the lower left, under the space ship looks like a Purshia. I'm going with Juniperus osteosperma. http://www.forceacademy.com/Imagesto...esert_tree.jpg -- -- Tom Schweich http://www.schweich.com Day: 415-545-3644 |
