Description
The Bristlecone Pine (Pinus aristata) is an evergreen conifer that can be found throughout the American Southwest. It is an unusual tree, with its twisted, gnarled trunk and its unusual growth pattern. Its unique quality of slow growth and becoming strong in the face of adversity makes it ideal for resisting harsh wind and snow along mountain ridges and in desert climates. The tree is renowned for its longevity, with records of Bristlecone Pines over 4,000 years old! This species can be found in such states as California, Arizona and Colorado, usually in elevated areas of 4,000 ft or higher. Few species can rival its hardiness and longevity.
