Other Names: bigcone pine; gray pine, pine,

GOOD

These two trees occur only in California and are very similar in appearance. They are in the "hard" pine class and should be good bearing trees. Being stunted and twisted in form only, the better formed tree should be selected if a choice is available. The blaze should be kept small and deep enough to penetrate the sapwood. Paint thoroughly.
