IMG_20160921_101855670.jpg gotcha hahaha....
in all serious though this was one of about 20 mugo cuttings I took this year and seems to be the only one that diddnt turn brown and die. I think it must have rooted since it's pretty firmly anchored in the pot. The bud hasn't elongated much but I think Ill have something to work with next year and start to develop the ideal way as appose to nursery grown mugos

I didnt know you could get a cutting off a pine to root.

Not sure you can either but I plugged a bunch into pots earlier this summer and all the other have clearly died, brown, dropped needles and rotted stems weeks ago and this guy is still green and seems to be anchored in the soil. We'll see what happens next spring

Cultivars of mugo are regularly reproduced from cuttings, and many other pines will do so aswell but none have a huge success rate.

Kokonoe and Zuisho cultivars of JWP will grow from cuttings.

I mean, you might get lucky and get a few to root with other varieties, but "generally speaking" pine cuttings don't root.

I don't know of any JBP that will.
 
You don't have anything planted on a skull yet?

Trying to get my hands on an authentic human skull .....

Not sure how well it would hold up being exposed to the damp soil and rain and sun. Id imagine it would break down fairly quick once the decaying started. Perhaps one of the resin medical replicas would stand up the elements a lot longer. I believe had a few small animal ones on a shelf in the sun and have notice over the years the have become quite brittle
 
Skulls need to be treated to not become brittle. Taxidermists treat Skulls with something to preserve them for European mounts I believe. When I'm there this weekend I'll ask.

I agree and most of the time it's just peroxide, id be concerned of exposure to the elements no matter what preservation is taken. The tree will live a long time the skull is already dead, it's pretty tough to stop decomposition especially when it's already started.
