Description:
Pinus contorta, also known as Lodgepole Pine, is a native North American conifer that can grow up to 80 feet tall. It features scaly gray-brown bark and dark yellow-green needles that appear in pairs. This tree is adapted to various soil types, including volcanic and poor soils, and is drought-tolerant once established. Its cones require fire or heat to release seeds, making it a key species in fire-adapted ecosystems. It is a dominant species in Yellowstone's forest canopy and is known for its rugged adaptability.
