		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.

	Michael Bogan
		The foxtail pine is endemic to California and is found in two distinct, widely separated populations.
		This amazing longevity and the foxtail wood's durability after death has allowed a great amount of work to be done to analyze changes in treeline and climate of the Sierra Nevada over the last 3000 years, most notable by Lisa Graumlich and her Ph.D. student, Andrea Lloyd (Lloyd, 1997 and 1998; Lloyd and Graumlich, 1997).
		The southern part of the Sierran foxtail's distribution was also heavily grazed in the late 1800's and early 1900's causing permanent meadow damage, though possible effects of this period on foxtails have not been studied (Storey and Usinger, 1963).

	Pinus balfouriana Foxtail Pine.
		Foxtail Pine is a slow growing, evergreen, conifer found at high elevations in the northern coast ranges and Sierra Nevada mountains.
		Pinus balfouriana is called Foxtail Pine because the internodal lengths are so small that all the needles are bunched up together at the end of the branches.
		At the Foxtail Pine's native elevation most precipitation comes in the form of snow which is inaccessible to the plant.

	Bristlecone Pine - Plant of the Week
		This small five-needle pine is one of the oldest living things on earth with numerous documented cases of trees reaching 4,000 years old.
		The needles of this pine are in clusters of five with a blue-green coloration which is sometimes coated with a white wax which gives them that bluish look of several of our western trees.
		The needles persist from 14 to 17 years at the ends of the branches and are held close to the limb giving the pine a common name of "foxtail" pine.

	White Pine Weevil
		The white pine weevil, native to North America, is a very serious pest of white pines in the forest and can also stunt and disfigure trees grown for ornamental purposes.
		Other trees which are commonly attacked are pitch pine, Japanese red pine, western white pine, limber pine, foxtail pine and red spruce.
		The adult white pine weevils are reddish-brown snout beetles about a quarter-inch long which are marked irregularly with patches of brown and white scales.

	Cronartium ribicola, the white pine blister rust
		White pine blister rust is now widely found in northeastern United States, the Lake States, and the West.
		This description of early efforts to fight the blister rust and protect white pine (Pinus monticola) is from Neuenschwander et al.
		Because host eradication had worked with pines in the Eastern United States, and scientists were similarly fighting fl stem rust successfully in wheat, the natural choice for curing western white pine of blister rust was eradication of host shrubs.

	Forest Pathology - White Pine Blister Rust
		Most taxonomic arrangements break these into two groups, although the fungus seems to disagree with that taxonomy: subgenus Strobus (the white or soft pines, all of which have 5 needles per fascicle) and subgenus Ducampopinus (the piñon, lacebark and foxtail pines; the 5-needle members are two species of bristlecone pine and foxtail pine).
		Infections of pine are not consistent from year to year, but occur in "wave years," when weather is ideal.
		On pines, the first symptom may be a small, yellow or red spot on a needle, but this is difficult to find.

		Under such conditions, fewer pines are attacked, the number of eggs laid is small, and larval survival is considerably reduced.
		Growing pine under a hardwood canopy, dense stocking in open-grown stands, and planting on well-drained soils are management strategies that could reduce stem water content at the time of day and year weevils are laying eggs.
		White pine weevil is not a tree killer and, therefore, does not play an obvious role in the abundance or survival of white pine.

	Yosemite National Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Giant Sequoia are the most massive trees in the world and are one of the tallest and longest-lived (Coast Redwoods that live along the Northern Californian coast are the tallest and the Great Basin Bristlecone Pine of Eastern California are the oldest).
		This high diversity of species is also the result of habitatss in Yosemite that are largely intact, compared to areas outside the park where various human activities have resulted in habitat degradation or destruction.
		Along much of Yosemite's western boundary, habitats are dominated by mixed coniferous forests of Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine, Incense-cedar, White Fir, and Douglas Fir, and a few stands of Giant Sequoia, interspersed by areas of Black Oak and Canyon Live Oak.

	SPRING 2001 CAPSTONE PROJECTS
		Abstract: The foxtail pine of the Southern Sierra (Pinus balfouriana ssp.
		In this project, three sites on the margin and one site in the center of the foxtail pine's distribution were examined to identify how the tree's ecological characteristics change over its range.
		From field visits it appears that the western and eastern margins of distribution are altitude limited, while the northern and southern limits may be due to ecological displacement from other timberline tree species: by limber pine (P. flexilis) in the south and by whitebark pine (P. albicaulis) in the north.
