Species from California
Common name: Gray Pine
Photographed in Donner Canyon, Mt. Diablo, Contra Costa County, California
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.

Pinus x schwerinii 'Wiethorst' (Johann Wieting, Germany) 2019 photo - Common Name: hybrid pine, Size at 10 years: 6ft., Blue green, USDA Hardiness Zone x, In Garden Bed HR-J20 for 7.8 YEARS (HLG). Planted in 2012.
ACS: Pinus x schwerinii 'Wiethorst' is a dwarf selection of Schwerin's pine, an interspecific hybrid of Eastern White pine (P. strobus) and Himalayan pine (P. wallichiana). It is a small, upright-growing tree with fluffy light-green needles displaying silvery undersides. A valuable trait of this tree is that it will produce abundant seed cones at a young age. Expected annual growth is 6 to 8 inches (15 - 20 cm), producing a 6 foot (2 m) tall tree after 10 years in the landscape.
This cultivar originated as a witch's broom found by Johann Wieting of Giesselhorst Germany. The cultivar name is actually a combination of the names Wieting and Giesselhorst. This cultivar is very desirable to the conifer collector because it is one of the few existing cultivars of Pinus × schwerinii. It was also one of two plants selected in 2014 for inclusion into the ACS Collectors' Conifer of the Year Program.

Pinus pinea, native to Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Levant in the Mediterranean region. This tree has a long history of being exploited for its edible pine nuts (appearing in pasta pesto,etc.). The pine cones, replete with nuts, are astonishingly plentiful on the trees and very evident in the spring (though maybe not in this photo!).
