Discover the charm of Sierra Lodgepole Pine, a variant of Pinus contorta. Native to regions like the Cascade Range, Sierra Nevada, and Klamath Mountains, it's an evergreen conifer that adds elegance to your landscape through its average height of 90 to 100 feet. Sierra Lodgepole Pine is characterized by its thin, orange-brown bark and short branches that subdivide into fine branchlets. Thriving even in the most rugged environments, it's found in southern Washington, Oregon, California, and the Great Basin's Virginia and Sweetwater mountains. The pine displays longevity, with some individuals surpassing an impressive 600 years. One of its most defining features is its finely pointed needles that are 1.2 to 2.4 inches long and arranged in pairs. The nonserotinous cones sit symmetrically in clusters, and open to disperse seeds, further enhancing the tree's natural appeal. Unlike its cousin, the Shore Pine, the Sierra Lodgepole Pine stands out with its more upright, cone-shaped appearance. Planted singly or in groups, this evergreen beauty provides a scenic appeal that's hard to miss.
