I have a theory that pine trees are distantly related to palm trees. My premise is based on one simple fact: If you stand very close to a pine tree, it looks like a palm. Yes, I admit, that's a far-fetched idea. But I like to use my imagination—just to see where it will take me.
The beautiful White Pines of Georgia have long needles and extra large cones. Every spring, the branch tips produce clusters of small purple male cones called stroboli.The local squirrels help to propogate these trees. Whenever I find a young seedling, I transplant it to my ever-deepening pine forest.
