Limber vs. BristleconeNot Bristlecones? I know they are similar... but I think the limber pines have longer needles... ?

Re: Limber vs. BristleconeLimber Pine - Pinus flexilis is a member of the white pine group, Pinus subgenus Strobus, and like all members of that group, the leaves ('needles') are in fascicles (bundles) of five, with a deciduous sheath. This distinguishes it from the Lodgepole Pine, with two needles per fascicle, and the bristlecone pines, which share five needles per fascicle but have a semi-persistent sheath. So you see, my dear, you must be clear whether or not it has a deciduous sheath or a semi-persistent sheath!
