Pre shed blues

Max0331 Nov 21, 2010 03:02 AM

My female Black pine is as blue as can be. I love how her ventrals almost turn white when she is in pre shed. Anyone who has kept black pines... from looking at mine in this pic do ya think she has the potential to get much bigger than she is now?
Thanks!
Max

How much more she grows would have a lot to do with how old she is. Are you planning on breeding her? A lot of food energy for growth would go towards developing follicles, eggs etc instead of growth. So the potential may be there but a number of factors are involved.

Here's one with a lot of growing yet to do. LOL

Well she has bred before. But i do not have male for her right now so I doubt she will breed next season. And I dont doubt that tattoo is older than me. Semper Fi

Sweet. Even in blue that looks like a nice dark Black Pine.
