[Not Bonsai] Just Cool Neighborhood Pines

[just.wing.it]

I was killing some time this morning waiting on my car at the shop....tires.
Took a walk around, saw these cool looking pine trees at the top of a large water runoff ditch...

Thought they were cool enough to post...
I'd love to know what kind of pine they are....2 needles per....?
Check em out!

It's probably a eastern red pine, given your location. If you were more south it would most likely be a Turkish pine.

Huh?

Loblolly pine is native to your area. Maybe that? The cones and candles maybe a little different though, so I'm not 100%.

Huh?

Any idea on the ID, Brian?

Likely Loblolly, could be Resinosa. Check here:

I guess that wouldn't make sense, I had some pines on my property (socal) that I was tying to I'D. The only thing I could find was Red Pine but that's on the east coast. It wasn't until I looked for non native trees I found those pines. I misspoke it's a Afghan pine, bit they are from Turkey and that area.

Fits the description as far as I can tell

Funny how we call Trident Styling Pine like when it' really spruce like or pines don' grow like pines but tridents do.

Nice.

I'll throw my Id in under pinus nigra. Resinosa (in PA) isn't used as landscape. Nigra, Austrian black, is popular worldwide in cities and super susecptible (spelling) to a couple common pests. Which would explain the dead ones. Although I don't know red pine well enough to say it's not, I'd be happily surprised if it was

I see those at home depot for sale...they always catch my eye, but I probably won't ever buy one...

I got one when I was first getting into bonsai despite hearing that they weren't great. I ended up moving and left half my trees behind. The black pine was one of them because it had no taper. But Nigel Saundes has one that's perfectly acceptable and in my brief experiment with them they seemed ok. Probably hard to find one with a good trunk, and when branches escape they get super ugly

Yeah, I've seen Nigel's videos on his...
It is nice..

First two with no needles are Pinus mortalis fatalis. Dead.

The others are most likely P nigra, Austrian black pines.

P resinosa is not at all shade tolerant, and a bit touchy about city life. So low probability.
