About the Bristlecone
Pine :
The Bristlecone Pine, 'Pinus aristata', is a type
of pine tree that can reach an age far greater than
that of any other living thing known - up to 5,000
years.It is dense in growth, the shoots set with
dark, short needles, five per bundle. The cones
which occasion its names are indeed tipped by
slender spines or bristles.
Looks aside, bristlecone pine is famous because
in its arid mountain home of Colorado, New Mexico
and Arizona, it can live for thousands of years. In
cultivation it proves slow, bushy, dark and enduring
of difficult sites. |
