I like open unsheared trees in the bluish coloring. Now that's a caddy. I should have gone with my answer for 2 and 3 but they would have been hunches not real answers.

Your white pine cone is a little fatter than those I am familiar with, as ours, the Eastern White Pine resembles the sugar pine cone, but not nearly as large, nor red in color, but long like the one pictured. One of our most famous conifers, the Frasier Fur, which was picked for the White House Christmas Tree again this year, grows in our higher elevations. Our family has a tradition for the last 30 years of making the climb to one of the tree farms, cutting a fresh Frasier Fur, and have the rest of the day to enjoy the outdoors in our wonderful mountains. Our grandchildren love to make that trip, sometimes in the snow, then back home to put up the tree. One of the finest smells of our holiday season comes from the freshly cut Frasier Fir.
