i want to take anyone, who wants to come, to mendocino county, california so i can teach y'all how to identify plants and we can sit in a circle trying figure out new plants we come across (dont worry i got the best of the best dichotomous keys, multiple actually, AND picture books with fun facts, like a ton. so we can have fun figuring out species WHILE confirming with the picture books if we are right). I used to do this by myself and would love to do it with other people (:. Also, specifically mendocino county because it has some of the most biodiverse plants in THE WORLD.
also, if allowed, would love to info dump about plants. like Pinus sabiniana, which has traits/indications that it originally evolved to be resistant to wildfires, and lives in wildfire-prone areas, but for whatever reason the wing on the seed evolved to be really short. So it like, cant do its job with wind dispersal. INSTEAD new growth of this tree is dependent on ANIMAL dispersal. like why did you do this to yourself babe. you evolved to make your life harder to sustain your species. although honestly, same lol.

Das natürliche Verbreitungsgebiet liegt in Kalifornien. Die Art wird in der Roten Liste der IUCN als nicht gefährdet eingestuft. Sie wird selten als Holzlieferant genutzt, spielte jedoch während des Goldrauschs in Kalifornien eine wichtigere Rolle. Die Digger-Kiefer wächst als immergrüner bis zu 25 Meter hoher Baum. Der Stamm wächst gerade oder gekrümmt, als Monopodium oder gegabelt und erreicht Brusthöhendurchmesser von 100 Zentimetern. Das größte vermessene Exemplar erreichte 1986 eine Höhe von 49 Metern mit einem Stammdurchmesser von 1,5 Metern und einen Kronendurchmesser von 24 Metern. Dieser Baum existiert mittlerweile nicht mehr, das seither größte bekannte Exemplar erreicht nur noch eine Höhe von 37 Metern. – Zum Artikel …
