This pine is a California native, but it does not grow naturally in the San Gabriel Mountains. It has often been planted near roads and structures in the National Forest. Look for unopened seed cones from previous years, still on the tree. They will remain there until the heat of a fire opens the cones and releases the seeds for a newxt generation of trees.
