Name: Great Basin Bristlecone Pine

Scientific: Pinus longaeva

A.K.A.: Ancient Pine, Intermountain Bristlecone Pine, Western Bristlecone Pine, Bristlecone Pine

This Variation: This is a Low Poly model. A High Poly version is also available.

Notes: A long-living species of bristlecone pine tree found in the higher mountains of California, Nevada, and Utah. It includes the tree named Methuselah, which is 4,855 years old and has been credited as the oldest known living non-clonal organism on Earth. To protect it, the exact location of this tree is kept secret. The tree grows in large open stands and generally does not form closed canopies, usually covering only 15-50%. The tree is a vigorous primary succession species, growing quickly on new open ground, but is a poor competitor in good soils and the species does best in harsh terrain. It is often the dominant species in high-elevation dolomite soils, where few plants can grow.
