Ponderosa Pine No. 6

Pinus ponderosa 

Height 46' Width 56"

The granite outcroppings of the Rocky Mountains are one of the most inspiring landscapes to take in the radical diversity of forms Ponderosa Pines can take in response to the environment and the elements. The intertwining trunks and informal designs of Ponderosas growing in community creates a singular homogenous canopy that forms a protective aerodynamic outline to guide the wind around the cumulative plant mass.

The twists and intermixing deadwood and living veins allow exposed trees on the granite to flex, twist, and bend to the incessant onslaught of weather the central spine of the continental divide receives. Planted on a beautiful Jan Culek slab, the whole of this composition is greater than the parts. It truly is a composition inspired by a lifetime spent in the Rockies.
