Finally made it up to the White mountains to see the Bristlecones. It was a short day trip, but now I'm hooked and hope to return for a long weekend.
The Longleaf Pine (Pinus palustris) grows needles up to 18 inches long. With lifespans spanning 300 years, these long-lived giants will often take half that time to reach a full size of ~100 ft. Interestingly, when a longleaf pine seed germinates, it undergoes a "grass" stage. For several years, it appears as only a clump of needles on the surface; but underground, it is busily growing what will become a 12-foot long taproot. One wonders if it pines for adulthood?

Sometimes, however, nature does a pretty good imitation of a plantation, even if she does a poor job at keeping the trees in rows.
Pitch pine forests, like those that make up the New Jersey Pine Barrens, are a good example of a natural monoculture. The New Jersey forest is roughly 30 by 80 miles and has been dominated by pitch pine since the retreat of the last glacier.
How can one species dominate for so long? In this case, fire, and pitch pine’s adaptations to fire, have kept the forest in a state of ecological inertia. Continuous cycles of burning and re-sprouting prevent the progression of what would normally be considered a pioneer forest to one with more typical climax species.
Even when all of the needles on a pitch pine are burned, the crown can recover and be almost back to normal in just a few years. If the leader is killed, a new one may grow, and if most of the tree is killed, new sprouts will emerge from the trunk or the base of the trunk. The ability to sprout from the trunk is common in hardwoods but rare in a conifer. Dormant buds buried deep in the thick bark of a pitch pine come to life after a fire or other injury to the crown.
Summer break in Croatia.
Hotel was in Bosnia and Herzegovina but most of the visits in Croatia.
Cavtat in Croatia is located 20 kilometers south of the city of Dubrovnik. Cavtat has a beautiful location on the Adriatic Sea and was originally built by Greek colonists in the sixth century BC. under the name Epidaurus (not to be confused with modern Epidaurus in Greece). Under Roman rule from 228 BC. the city was called Epidaurum. The current name Cavtat is derived from Civitas Vetus meaning “the old city”, a reference to the old city of Dubrovnik because the original inhabitants of Cavtat fled to Dubrovnik when the city was plundered. Now Cavtat is a popular tourist destination with over 2,100 inhabitants and hosts the Epidaurus music festival every year. Cavtat has a number of sights, its own harbor and is a short distance from Dubrovnik airport.
The seaside promenade takes you along the border of the small peninsula. The views are stunning, the hike is easy with lots of shaded places to relax and enjoy the views.
