I used a spork and a plastic grocery bag, because that's what I could find in the pick up to save it. Sometimes, you might find a clump of it where a tree has been wounded and can cut or saw it off. The sap shown is actually from a red fir, but pine, fir, and tamarack are all good. <br />The cottonwood pods~ we have lots of cottonwood trees around here. I don't sell them. Not sure where you live, but you might just ask around if anyone has a cottonwood in their yard. If so, I'm sure they would be obliging to let you come harvest some pods before they burst into cotton. <br />Happy collecting:)Lady Locusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661298925602199106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-53019793592562623292015-02-16T13:19:29.563-08:002015-02-16T13:19:29.563-08:00where do you get pine sap and how? is it a certain...where do you get pine sap and how? is it a certain pine or just a specific species? do you sell the cottonwood pods?deb harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05110992898072146282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-82607466263555027382015-02-16T07:59:44.480-08:002015-02-16T07:59:44.480-08:00Ohhh, that would be rough.

I think it's beautiful when the cotton flies, but I don't have a pool to try to cover or clean.Lady Locusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661298925602199106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-47117547222415394272015-02-16T07:09:50.544-08:002015-02-16T07:09:50.544-08:00The cottonwoods used to burst open and fly everywh...The cottonwoods used to burst open and fly everywhere at our old place. The neighbors had a swimming pool and it was just covered in white. It was a big pool too so hard to cover.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.com
