Discover the stunning Pinus aristata, also known as the Colorado Bristlecone Pine, Hickory Pine, Foxtail Pine, and Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine. This slow-growing tree, native to the United States, thrives in cold, dry subalpine climate conditions and is often found at the tree line in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, northern New Mexico, and Arizona. With blue-green foliage and stunted, shrubby growth, this striking tree has unparalleled character. Pinus aristata is exceptionally long-lived, with some trees reaching thousands of years old! Though it requires protection from dry winds in cold regions, this species is suitable for bonsai and rock gardens. Get ready to be enchanted by Pinus aristata!
