Distinguished from the bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) by the broadly attenuate (not rounded) base of the pine-cone, each scale of which has no terminal prickle or weak one to only 1 mm, and an amber color to the resin on the pinecone. Tawny Point sits in background. This site is in the Tyndall Creek area south of Forester Pass.
Pinus sylvestris (en. Pine, fi. Mänty, sv. Tall, no. Furu, ps. Beahci). Erkylä, Hausjärvi. 28.3.2014.
Whitebark pine is common but patchy in occurrence in this area with much variation in the distribution of age-classes (young, middle-aged, and dead and dying comprise most populations) and no (or at least not much in the way of) signs of disease (e.g., blister rust and animal predation of oozing bark). This site lies just north of Pinchot Pass in the the Lake Marjorie basin, Sierra Nevada, Fresno County, California.
The Ta Pinu Sanctuary in the sister island of Gozo.
The National Shrine and Basilica of the Blessed Virgin of Ta' Pinu (Maltese: Santwarju tal-Madonna ta' Pinu) is a Roman Catholic minor basilica is located 700 metres away from the village of Għarb, located on the island of Gozo, Malta. The works for the new church began the May 30, 1920, to be consecrated the August 31, 1932. It was built in a neo-romantic style. Inside there are 6 mosaics, 76 coloured windows and many ex-voto. The bell tower is 61 metres high.

Pinus ponderosa predominates in the breaks country and extends into the sagebrush steppe to a small degree. The subspecies scopulorum extends from the very southern Rocky Mountains northward into this part of Montana. Not much suggests Great Plains in eastern Montana given how widespread is the sagebrush steppe and ponderosa pine woodlands.
There are only a dozen native pine species in North Carolina but I still struggle with identifying pines as I drive around the state. Part of the problem is that the needles are often well out of reach such that counting needles per bundle and getting an exact read on needle length is difficult. Tree shape can help.
There are 2 pines around Charlotte with short needles, usually in pairs. They are Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana) and these short-leafed pines. If you look at the needles of Virginia pine, you will invariably see the pair of needles in a bundle twisted, not straight. Often you can use the appearance of the bark to separate these 2 species. Pinus echinata has much larger plates on the bark. Plates are not deeply furrowed on either species.
The 2 mature short-leafed pines in this photograph have an open crown with distinctively contorted branches.
The cones of both species are perhaps 3" long and about twice as long as wide. Virginia pine cones tend to be a tad smaller, but you could often fool me.
There are some efforts to replace loblolly pine in the North Caroina Piedmont, the dominant species grown for timber in our area, with these native short-leaf pine.

Monterey pine, grown commercially as radiata pine or New Zealand pine. Don't know how this one survived the chop.

Pinus edulis, the state tree of New Mexico, is common to the Taos area. Perhaps most similar to the Mexican Pinus cembroides in having mostly 2 (3) needles per fascicle, the leaves of Pinus edulis are over 1 mm in width. This region that descends in elevation from Taos to Española transitions out of the expanses of sagebrush steppe and is essentially devoid of Bromus tectorum. This site lies along highway 68 just to the southwest of Taos, Taos County, New Mexico, about where the highway and the Rio Grande meet.
