POTW32 Tired of white pines failing?

Last one from me for awhile...

Clay soils and poor white pine performance have led to this plant becoming a good performer for me.

PM's only please

Oh man, treedoc1, you sure are bringing the love.

I started using POTW32 last year for its sheer beauty, not realizing that it was so much more adaptable than the fickle lovely monster Eastern White Pine.

Anyway...pm sent.
