Did I say three? How about four trunks?






I thought I had found something unusual when I found a three-trunked Sand Pine several months ago. It's still unusual, but weird stuff happens on the Ridge. While I was looking for Liatris and generally exploring, I found a FOUR (count 'em four)-TRUNKED SAND PINE about 100 meters north of the first one. It must be something in the soil (Archbold, for the record, according to the soil map).
