	MSN Encarta - Multimedia - Bristlecone Pine
		The Great Basin bristlecone pine can live over 4,000 years and is believed to be one of the oldest living trees on the planet.
		All members of the pine family have needlelike leaves, generally longer than those of other conifers, which appear in clusters of two to five, depending on the species.
		Pines are extremely adaptable to a range of climatic and soil conditions and are widespread in their distribution.

	Bristlecone pine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bristlecone pines are a small group of pine trees (Family Pinaceae, genus Pinus, subsection Balfourianae) that can reach an age far greater than that of any other living thing known - up to nearly 5,000 years.
		A bristlecone older than "Methuselah" was cut down in 1964 by Donald R. Currey, then a geography graduate student after his coring tool broke while, performing research in an area now protected by Great Basin National Park in Nevada.
		The rings of the tree, named "Prometheus", were counted as 4844, and later as 4862, but the tree was aged 8 feet above the germination point, and adding in years with missing rings, the estimated age of the tree was over 5000 years.

	Bristlecone Pine
		Bristlecone pines are well known for surviving in harsh environments and living for many years without needing much care.
		They are distinctive with their gnarled and twisted growth, sticky white resin on the needles (some people confuse the resin for pine needle scale), and dark green needles that are displayed in bundles of five.
		There are other choices for evergreens in a naturalized area of the landscape but the Bristlecone Pine would certainly fit the description of specimen tree.

		Identifying Characters: Foxtail Pine is characterized by the bundles of 5 needles, the deciduous sheath, the elongate, cylindrical cones, the needles crowded against the twig, and the absence of elongate spines at the apices of the cone scales.
		Foxtail Pine can be distinguished from Whitebark Pine by its much shorter needles (1 to 1.5 inches versus 1.5 to 2.5 inches in Whitebark Pine) and the globular, not cylindrical cones of Whitebark Pine.
		Habitat: Foxtail Pine is a high, montane species occurring on exposed, rocky slopes in the subalpine and timberline zones.
