PINUS SABINIANA APPRECIATION POST

PINUS SABINIANA!!!!! WORLD'S SECOND HEFTIEST PINECONE AND ARID LANDSCAPE LOVER! its relatively short lifespan, durable cones, and lightweight wood suggest it coevolved with low burning periodic forest fires. it's also got absolutely DELICIOUS seeds and if you ever get the chance to eat them roasted, the P. pinea seeds you get in the grocery store dont even compare. P. sabiniana is easily recognized from its blue grey crown, three-needle fascicles, and deeply-furrowed bark. It's an unusually heavily forked tree for the pinus genus; if not for its outstandingly massive size, it might be classified as a shrub. (last photos are of the largest reliably measured specimen near Grass Valley (person for scale))

Pinus sabiniana. Gray Pine and Digger Pine.

This tree sprouted out of a load of wood chips we brought in around 2003 - twenty years ago. It has never been watered.

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.

#i took an edible and i am in a MOOD #i just want to hang out with friends and try to figure out plants (: #my guy in a survival situation i can figure which plants are edible or not

Digger-Kiefer

Die Digger-Kiefer oder Sabines Kiefer (Pinus sabiniana) ist ein immergrüner Nadelbaum aus der Gattung der Kiefern (Pinus) mit meist zu dritt wachsenden, 20 bis 28 Zentimeter langen Nadeln und sehr großen und schweren, 17 bis 25 Zentimeter langen Samenzapfen. 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 …

Ghost pines are my favorite in the pinus genus cause they’re just so gnarly for no reason whatsoever
