Ok, let me try this again and i will try to make it simple and no i don't agree to it being ID'd as roxburghii. Also that this is not a isolated tree or a dying tree. All the photographs are from different trees.
The first two trees i saw i ignored as dying trees until i came across a third one and third time in not chance. The normal pine colouration of roxburghii is green as can be seen in the back ground.
Above i am trying to show the new needle growth pattern. The dark green one is Pinus roxburghii with a growth pattern like a brush or a donkey's tail. The yellow green one is the NOID. Look at its new needle growth pattern, isolated new needles coming out.
In this photograph the left one is the trunk of the NOID and the right one in Pinus roxburghii. As you can see the barks are different.
To show the size of the pine cones. These cones are max three inches in size while roxburghii's is anywhere from six inches to nine inches, elongated.
To show its not an isolated incident or a mutation or a dying tree.

Masud.
