Re: [DIYbio] I want to GCMS Ponderosa Pine bark smell

Nope, the smell is not in the sap or the cone, its very much in the bark.  When the trees get a certain age, a lot of that black bark starts falling off, and the yellow underbark underneath (what is in the cracks) becomes the main bark. When that happens, the smell gets VERY strong. (I love ponderosas I used to camp in the Kaibab forest all the time as a kid. )

Maybe, but the the air between the bark is what I've noticed smelling
most like vanilla.

The Ponderosa Pine wikipedia page says that the Jeffrey Pine smells
more strongly, so I guess I've got to track down a stand of them to
take a whiff!

Also, the Jeffrey Pine wikipedia page says it's tolerant of serpentine
soils, which is NPK deficient (the pine tree you see growing out of
rocks)... so maybe these would be good trees to play with in general.
Either as a selection tool, or to find microbial/fungal nitrogen
fixers.
