Ponderosa pine is the most common pine in the American West and is the primary species in many middle elevation forests. Its range extends throughout most mountain ranges from the Rockies to California, including southern British Columbia and the highest elevations of northwestern Mexico.
Young trees have a neatly pyramidal habit but when mature they develop a tall, bushy, irregular crown. The bark can be quite beautiful and impressive in older specimens. It is cinnamon orange with contrasting deep black crevaces and has flattened scaly plates that break off and are said to smell like vanilla. The long needles are deep to pale green, come in bundles of two and three, and the brown female cones are sharp, dense and triangular.
While Ponderosa pine is drought tolerant, extended dry periods across its native range have caused many of the trees to become vulnerable to bark beetles. This results from high competition for limited moisture in unnaturally high density forests. Ultimately these pests thin trees to the point where they are well spaced. When planted on home sites and given supplemental water, the trees are better able to withstand the beetles. Cultivated ponderosa pines are fast growing and make quick shade trees, screens or windbreaks. They also offer vital food and habitat to wildlife.
