Tree Growing Kit - Ponderosa Pine This grow kit gives you everything you need to successfully germinate a Ponderosa Pine tree. 100% guaranteed! The mighty Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa) is often regarded as North America's "most important" pine tree. It dominates forests in every western state, and is widespread in Canada and Mexico, as well. Pinus ponderosa is known by many names throughout its vast range, including Western Yellow Pine, Blackjack Pine, Bull Pine, Heavy Pine, Longleaf Pine, and most commonly, Ponderosa Pine. In Montana, Ponderosa Pine is celebrated as the State Tree. This impressive, wide-ranging species tolerates an amazing diversity of climates, altitudes, and soils, and can live for centuries, growing to heights of over 300 feet, with soaring, column-like trunks more than 8 feet across. A slow grower in its first decade, Ponderosa Pine grows faster as it ages, ultimately acquiring a magnificent physique, characterized by muscular branches; burnished tufts of long, green-gold needles (5"-13"); large, cinnamon-red cones; and a regal-looking, almost perfectly straight trunk, richly clad in great plates of bronze-colored bark. Ponderosa Pine tolerates heat and drought, and is extremely cold-hardy. It can be cultivated almost anywhere, and is a beautiful and statuesque tree at every stage of its life.

If more of the seeds had sprouted, it would have gotten 5 stars
I love these kit's, but it would have been nice if more than 3 out of 5 seeds had sprouted. Of the 3, only 1 sapling made it beyond the first few months. But the one that did make it, are thriving. This is a slow growing tree in the first few years, so one have to be patient with them.
