| Lodgepole pine Pinus contorta ssp. murrayana Pinaceae [Named either for John Archibald Murray, 1779-1859] |
This is the "Champion" Lodgepole Pine located on the south side of Big Bear Lake. Lodgepoles are quite uncommon in Southern California and based on its relative rarity here it is speculated that it is a remnant of cooler times. Here they typically grow at elevations exceeding 8000' but farther north they can be found at much lower elevations. 70 feet is a height they usually attain but the "Champion" towers over the surrounding forest from its commanding height of 110+ feet. Its age has been estimated at 450+ years but I don't know what this is based on. |
