	Rocky Mountains Bristlecone Pine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine (Pinus aristata) is a pine in the bristlecone pine group, native to the United States, where it occurs in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and northern New Mexico, with an isolated population in the San Francisco Mountains in Arizona.
		It differs most conspicuously from the other bristlecone pines in that the needles usually have only one, (only rarely two) resin canals, and these are commonly interrupted and broken, leading to highly characteristic small white resin flecks appearing on the needles.
		Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine is by far the most successful of the bristlecone pines in cultivation, where is a very attractive slow-growing small tree suitable for small gardens in cold climates.

	Rocky Mountains
		The mountains' geology is a complex of igneous and metamorphic rock; younger sedimentary rock occurs along the margins of the southern Rocky Mountains, and volcanic rock from the Tertiary (65 million-1.8 million years ago) occurs in the San Juan Mountains and in other areas.
		Paleoecological data from the Holocene in the central and northern Rocky Mountains are limited because the interpretation of pollen records is difficult--high winds distribute pollen locally and regionally--and because packrat middens, usually a good source of data, are rare and restricted to lower elevations.
		The subalpine forests of the Rocky Mountains are characterized by spruces and firs and are floristically and structurally similar to the boreal conifer forests to the north.

	PINE FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Many pines are ''uninodal'', producing just one such whorl of branches each year, from buds at the tip of the year's new shoot, but others are ''multinodal'', producing two or more whorls of branches per year.
		Pine needles are sometimes eaten by some Lepidoptera species including Pine_Processionary, Bordered_White (also known as Pine Looper), Pine_Beauty and Scalloped_Hazel, and also the Symphytan species Pine_Sawfly.
		Pine plantations can be at risk of fire damage because pine resin is flammable to the point of a tree being explosive under some conditions.

	Great Basin Bristlecone Pine information - Search.com
		The Great Basin Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) is one of the bristlecone pines, a group of three species of pine found in the higher mountains of the southwest United States.
		In California, it is restricted to the White Mountains, the Inyo Mountains, and the Panamint Range, in Mono and Inyo counties.
		It differs from the Rocky Mountains Bristlecone Pine in that the needles always have two resin canals, and these are not interrupted and broken, so it lacks the characteristic small white resin flecks appearing on the needles in that species.

		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 they were counted 2.5 m above the germination point, and adding in years with missing rings and the time for it to reach 2.5 m tall, the estimated full age of the tree was over 5000 years.
		Such work (see ring counting) is not an easy task on bristlecone pines, because the trunks are very twisted and distorted, making it difficult to find the center.

		Bristlecone Pines (Pinus longaeva and Pinus aristata) are among the oldest living organisms on earth.
		Bristlecones have 5 needles per fascicle, and can grow to be 40-60 feet in height (under most favorable conditions.) Often they will die in portions.
		They are also known as "Wind Timber", "Hickory Pine", "Krummholtz" and "Foxtail Pine." It is a member of the group of pines known as foxtail pines, because of the shape of the branches and the way that the needles stay attached all the way up the limb.

		Great Basin bristlecone pines also survive mixed-severity fire in patches where fire severity is low.
		It is ironic that Great Basin bristlecone pine, which has yielded such rich tree-ring chronologies on high-elevation sites (see Other Uses), has been the subject of little dendrochronological research on mixed-conifer sites where Great Basin bristlecone pine may require more active fire management.
		Except for whitebark pine, Great Basin bristlecone pine often occurs at the upper elevational limits of the communities listed below, so fire return intervals are most likely on the long end of these ranges.
