Review # 1 was written on 2015-01-18 00:00:00 Jimmy R. Anderson Jr. On a windswept lip of a mountain just a few miles from our Teasdale, UT property, we have discovered an isolated area with a few gnarled, twisted and beautiful bristlecone pines. Reading this book made me aware that they are thousands-years-old Great Basin bristlecone pines, the oldest living trees and oldest living organisms on earth. Some specimens live over 4,000 years. Their needles can live for forty years. We recognized that the bristlecone area that we found was a 'special place' to be protected and treasured. The author, a retired research forester and biology professor, provided many fascinating facts about bristlecones and explained how these majestic trees live to such a long age, We will return to our off-the-beaten-path bristlecone area time and again and only share the exact place with a few close and trusted friends. Learn much more at the author's website: Ronald Lanner's Tree World In his book, he shares many 'public' locations for viewing bristelcones. Also visit the PBS NOVA website: Mehtuselah Tree (lj)

Review # 2 was written on 2014-07-20 00:00:00 Ronald Adkins Picked this up at the Visitor Center at Great Basin National Park where there is a stand of Great Basin Bristlecone Pines, a tree that has fascinated me for years. It is an interesting and informative read but be prepared to learn some new words, new concepts and a whole lot about tree biology.
