Pine nuts, broom nuts...it's nice to grow old and have a passion for trees! Best wishes to you guys! T.

Hard to believe this is coming from a girl...but why the heck would they not use a shotgun to shoot pieces of the broom down rather than precariously teeter on the branches. oi oi oi ... they look old enough to know better also.

Wish that was my job. ha ha

At least he has going for himself that he's sawing off the limb on the side opposite the trunk.

The Sabathy reminds me of certain places in the Colorado high country. Thanks very much for this tour. Any idea what other conifers (abies, pinus, picea, etc) may be found growing near the Cembra pines?

Congrats to the Broom Company!

Nate,
We are above 1500 meters. Generally Larix decidua mixed with less Picea abies and Pinus cembra. Cembras have no closed forests, just by one or in smaller groups. In windshadow there is more chance for cembras to reach an age of some hundred years. Pinus mugo and uncinata closes a bit higher.
Amazing mountains, just like in Colorado.

I thought Lada in pic #3 was in great distress until I read he is simply giving a lecture in situ.
