Scotjute, agreed on the thuja plicata/standishii cross. The hybrid originated in Denmark 40 years ago so alot of people consider it to be from there.
Leland's are a hybrid of North American trees, but the parents aren't native to Illinois where Brettski is. I'm a little picky about planting native only at my little farm a few miles from the house.
Lance, do you have any pitlolly's? I have one large pine on my land that could be. Several people have tried to ID it and they are split 50/50 over whether it's a loblolly or pitch. Makes me wonder if it's a pitlolly. The other pines on my land are definitely Virginia, Loblolly, Shortleaf, and Eastern White ... just this one is a challenge to ID.
