I'm curious...gee is that ever obvious...
What's the history behind Snow and Leucistic Southern Pines, and how were/are they produced? I guess I've never really thoroughly talked about it, and thought it would be another good topic to thrash out. All I've ever had and bred are the Northern Pines, and only began keeping Black Pines and Northern Mexican Pines.

Well, leucistic is a simple recessive trait.
The snows I'm not so sure about. I believe they are the result of amel/anery just as snow corns are, but you don't ever see anery Southerns offered. Apparently, since many Southerns have a lot of grey and little reddish color anyway, I suppose an anery could kind of go unnoiced as being such. I don't really know much more about their origin beyond that.
