This magnificent tree may grow above 200 feet tall in ideal conditions. Found from 5000 to about 8000 feet in mountainous areas. Cones to 25 inches long. The sugar supposedly was used by indians as a sealant. Resin has a nice sugary smell. Young trees have a top. The older ones flat topped. May live well above 300 years. Branches dangle out to 50 feet from the trunk. Trunk may be 18 feel in circumference. Often you will find this tree intermixed near Ponderosa Pine, incense cedar, fir, spruce, and sequouia.
