Pinus aristata 'Nana' (Bristlecone Pine)

The Pinus aristata 'Nana', commonly known as the Bristlecone Pine, is a slow-growing evergreen conifer with a unique twisted and gnarled trunk. It is known for its longevity, with some trees estimated to be over 5,000 years old. The needles are short and stiff, with a bluish-green color, and the tree produces small cones with bristle-like projections. 'Nana' refers to the dwarf cultivar, which is a compact variety of the Bristlecone Pine.
