Ponderosa Pine
About this verified tree
This tree is part of the historic Georges Bugnet Plantation near Rich Valley, Alberta, where Georges Bugnet planted and studied hardy trees, shrubs, and other plants suited to northern growing conditions. With a recorded DBH of 53.4 cm, it is one of the larger documented Ponderosa Pine in the plantation inventory and reflects the long-term success of Bugnet's experimental plantings. This tree is a candidate match for a 1986 Alberta Trees of Renown Bugnet Plantation record based on species, plantation location, and DBH comparison, but the match is not confirmed because the 2025 spreadsheet does not provide height or historical tag continuity. The spreadsheet notes: "Ponderosa pine". Source inventory: WP425; tag 638; source species code Pp; DBH 53.4; circumference 5.5 ft.
