Description

Whitebark pine and limber pine trees can live over 1,000 years. They establish and grow at high elevations under harsh conditions that many other trees cannot tolerate including windy, dry conditions, in poor soils, and at treeline. Whitebark pine and limber pine may establish rapidly after fire, and aid in early establishment of high-elevation forests. They can form pure stands but usually grow with other species. Whitebark pine protects snowpack, regulating flows of mountain creeks and rivers. The large, nutritious seeds of both pines are an important food for almost 100 species of birds and animals. Whitebark pine relies totally, and limber pine relies heavily, on the Clark’s nutcracker to reproduce – this jay-sized bird pecks seeds out of cones to cache in the ground where they germinate. Whitebark pine and limber pine form unique forest communities that are fundamental to the biodiversity of the mountains and foothills of Alberta.
