Bristlecone Pine #5

A wonderful North American native coniferous evergreen, the Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine lives to be older than any other tree. Some of the oldest single living specimens are over 4,000 years old! Even after death, the wood is so dense and resinous that the tree will remain standing for several hundred more years. A slow grower with a broad pyramidal form, it can reach 8 to 20 feet tall on average depending on pruning or training and 10 to 15 feet wide.
