Ponderosa vs. Jeffrey — The Sniff Test

Two big yellow pines grow side by side around the lake — the Ponderosa and the Jeffrey — with bark so alike you'll need your nose to tell them apart. A warm Jeffrey smells of vanilla and butterscotch; a Ponderosa is fainter and more like turpentine. Press your face to the bark and take a sniff.
