The bristlecone pine is the oldest non-clonal tree on Earth, with some living over 5,000 years. Native to high mountains in California, Nevada, and Utah, it grows slowly and produces dense, resin-rich wood that resists rot, insects, and fire. The harsh conditions of its natural habitat twist the trees into striking forms and preserve them for millennia. Famous specimens like “Methuselah,” located in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest within California’s Inyo National Forest, embody resilience and longevity, offering scientists vital climate records and inspiring awe as living monuments of time.
