Bristlecone Pine tree on the rim of Crater Lake - Oregon

One of the slow growing pine tree species is the Bristlecone pine. Under normal conditions Bristlecone Pines get 300-400 years old and have adjusted to places that no other tree wants to inhabit.
Here on Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park, southwest Oregon, intense sun, extremely arid conditions, high winds and winter exposure wear away at the bark of bristlecone pines, leaving striations along their exterior. However, a small amount of living bark is all that is necessary to sustain a mature bristlecone pine tree into extreme old age.
Bristlecone pine trees, in their lonely endurance and dignity, teach us the deep meaning of the eternal dance of life and death.
