I'm deeply moved by the age of these magnificant organisms and have researched them a bit. Although they look like Limber Pine from a distance, this is a bristle cone pine. The limber pine's pine cones are longer and the tree is taller. The bristle cone has smaller rounder cones with thorns on the ends of each paddle. They are the oldest types of trees originating from the orignial seed, not a clone tree or from ancient root systems. The oldest is dated to be 4,789 years old and is located in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the Inyo National Forest. They are amazing!
