They buried him near a stretch of limber pines and covered the grave with needles.

Limber Pine mortality is high in many areas throughout its range, except Arizona, where it has not yet been found.

He led his horse to the shelter of some limber pines and hitched the mare there.

Lower elevations are covered by aspen trees, while higher up the whitebark and limber pines predominate.

Whitebark pines rarely have intact old cones lying under them, whereas limber pines usually do.

American Black Bears may raid squirrel caches for Limber Pine nuts.

Limber Pine (Pinus flexilis)

The name "White Pine" is an old name for the Limber Pine, a common tree in the county's mountains.

It came in waves on the back of the wind, gusting and swirling, obliterating the mountain peaks, the limber pines, and finally Echo Falls itself.

Sprawling juniper shrubs kept the ground from being relentlessly white and rocky, and all around were great forests of ponderosa, lodgepole, and limber pines.

Aspen, Engelmann Spruce, Subalpine Fir trees, and Limber Pine also grow here.

Although named after the Limber Pine, the range might better be known for its large and vigorous stand of Great Basin Bristlecone Pines.

A useful clue resulting is that Whitebark Pines almost never have intact old cones lying under them, whereas Limber Pines usually do.

Limber Pine, Pinus flexilis, is an important source of food for several species, including Red Squirrels and Clark's Nutcrackers.

The harshest areas have Limber Pine and ancient Great Basin Bristlecone Pine, some more than 1,600 years old, holding on.

Unfortunately, Limber Pine is susceptible to white pine blister rust, caused by Cronartium ribicola, a fungus that was introduced accidentally from Europe.

They replaced some of the trees - lodgepole, ponderosa and limber pines, and Douglas firs - with aspens, which hold moisture better and do not produce flammable resin.

Interspersed with these formations are mixed conifer forests ranging from white fir and Jeffrey pine to Limber Pine and foxtail pine at the highest elevations.

In Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, populations of the Limber Pine often known as Southwestern White Pine, differ from the populations farther north.

Mortality is particularly heavy in Western White Pine, Sugar Pine, Limber Pine and Whitebark Pine.

The Limber Pine, Pinus flexilis, is a species of pine tree-the family Pinaceae that occurs in the mountains of the Western United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Chihuahua White Pine, Pinus strobiformis, has frequently been confused with the Arizona and New Mexico populations of Limber Pine, Pinus flexilis var.

Stands of Limber Pine and Great Basin Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) can be found in some of the higher ranges (the Methuselah tree is nearly 5000 years old).

Whitebark Pine-Pinus albicaulis Distinguishing Limber Pine from the related Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis), also a white pine, is very much more difficult, and can only easily be done by the cones.

Vegetation zones include Creosote Bush, Desert Holly, and mesquite at the lower elevations and sage up through shadscale, blackbrush, Joshua Tree, pinyon-juniper, to Limber Pine and Bristlecone Pine woodlands.

The popular cultivar Pinus flexilis is widely available as an ornamental tree for gardens.

According to the species documented in Montana the flowers were found occurrences on open, exposed ridges or grassy slopes, sometimes associated with Pinus flexilis (limber pine.
