Mike, those certainly could: their native climate is even harsher.

I have one of Andy Smith's collected ponderosas, presently the crown jewel of my rebuild-in-process collection. I'd love to have another. Andy's trees, and Harold Sasaki's Colorado spruces, are so full of character that I think they qualify for Walter Pall's term: "soul."

What stops me, at present, is that I don't have enough slips of green paper with dead guys' pictures on them.
