Section of Ancient Bristlecone Pine, #2

            Bristlecone pines are said to be the oldest known living trees. They often grow in a twisted fashion at high altitudes. The trees are native to the Rocky Mountains and other ranges of the southwestern United States, occurring at elevations above 5,500 feet.
 
The longevity of the bristlecones was first recognized in the 1950s by Dr. Edward Schulman, who shocked a scientific community that believed in a correlation between long lifespan and great size. Schulman systematically sampled the trees in California and Nevada, and published his findings in a 1958 National Geographic article, which revealed several of the trees to be more than 4,000 years old.
 
This cross-section of Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) was photographed at Schulman Grove in the Ancient Bristlecone Forest, Inyo National Forest, Mono County., central California.
