Description

Whitebark Pine is one of the hardiest tree species, but due to almost constant winds, the whitebark pines clinging to the rocky soil along the crater rim surrounding Crater Lake, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, are often deformed and stunted. This five-needle pine grows under the harshest environmental conditions, frequently as a low, twisted, 'krummholz' shrub, a small twisted tree, or a clump of trees so close they appear as one.
Whitebark Pines are the elders of the ecosystem, and its rooftop. They don�t produce seedcones until they�ve lived nearly one hundred years, and then continue to produce them for several centuries, even a millenium. However, people often admire whitebarks more when they are dead and become twisted silver-gray "ghost" trees than when they are alive and healthy.
