Life and Death in Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, California II

Amongst the oldest living things on earth, the ancient bristlecone pine tree, found at altitudes above 10,000 feet, in the remote Southwestern deserts of the United States, live up to 4,700 years.

 

 

 

 

I am particularly interested in those trees which grow in the desert.  Certain types of trees, like the juniper, can grow in poor soil, in the harshest of conditions.  They are slow growing and somehow manage to survive where others have failed.
