Great Basin Bristlecone Pine is a non-native conifer to Idaho that is found in California, Nevada and Utah. It grows slowly into a bushy, multi trunked tree or shrub. Bristlecones are highly adaptable even to harsh sites. Bristlecone pines can eventually reach 30’ tall and 10’ wide and are known for the large sections of dead wood and open, sparse canopies. Due to its picturesque growth habits, slow growth and low water requirements, we recommend this pine for a smaller landscape, rock garden, or as an outdoor container plant. It can also be used as a bonsai plant but must be kept outdoors. Great Basin Bristlecone pine is the state tree of Nevada.
