It commonly lives more than 500 years and occasionally more than 1,200 years. The bark on young trees is thin, smooth, gray, and covered with resin blisters. On mature trees, it is moderately thick (3–6 cm, 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in), furrowed and corky though much less so than coast Douglas-fir. Foliage

The infection then spreads through the inner bark and cambium around the base of the tree. Spread up the trunk is generally limited. Infected tissue dies and effectively girdles the tree. Large trees are more likely to be infected than small trees due to larger root areas (although all trees at the edges of infected streams will eventually ...
The knobcone pine, Pinus attenuata (also called Pinus tuberculata), [2] is a tree that grows in mild climates on poor soils. It ranges from the mountains of southern Oregon to Baja California with the greatest concentration in northern California and the Oregon-California border.
Trees have natural chemicals that keep most fungi at bay, but climate change could be making trees more vulnerable, researcher says. Citizen scientists to study this tree disease found in ...
The bark is about 3 centimeters (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches) thick and square-cracked or furrowed, and purplish-brown [3] to gray in color. The crown is a neat, slender, conic shape in young trees with a tilted or drooping lead shoot, becoming cylindric in older trees. At all ages, it is distinguished by the slightly pendulous branchlet tips.
