    May I have an identification please? I hope these photos come through clear enough. Its pretty obvious to me that they are two needle pines.

    #1 and #3 probably Pinus nigra, #2 probably Pinus mugo.

    Send them back and demand a refund, as these are much cheaper than P. pumila to produce.

    Thank you Michael. My supplier has been quite good until now, so I hope its an employee misunderstanding. Odd though, because he specializes in nut pines. I didn't know he had any others.
