State Trees Series: Nevada, Bristlecone Pine

Nevada has two official state trees: the single-leaf pinyon pine (Pinus monophylla) and the Great Basin bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva), both designated in 1953. The Great Basin bristlecone pine is one of the most famous trees in the state. It is famous for being one of the oldest living tree species on Earth, with some individuals exceeding 4,000 years in age. Found at high elevations, these trees have twisted, weathered trunks that allow them to withstand harsh conditions. Together, these two trees represent Nevada’s resilience, history, and natural beauty. The State Trees collection is a unique way to show your state pride! Choose your state, or pick your favorite tree from the collection and watch it come to life. This would make a great gift for a fellow out-of-state puzzle-lover. Go on an 'adventure across the country' and collect them all!
