Tree Story

About Bristlecone Pine

Bristlecone Pine is one of three subalpine tree species identified collectively as "foxtail pines" — so-called due to their dense, closely packed needles which resemble foxes' tails. Sometimes called "Hickory Pine," Pinus aristata, or Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine, was first collected by British botanist F. Creutzfeldt in Colorado in 1853. Native to dry, mountainous regions in Utah, Nevada, Arizona, California, New Mexico, and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Bristlecone Pine makes its home in an extremely hostile environment. Few ever see indigenous Bristlecone Pines because they typically grow above the timberline on exposed, rocky, dry slopes and ridges at elevations between 7,000 and 12,000 feet. Native Bristlecones growing in these inhospitable locations high in the mountains cope with long, frigid winters and very brief, hot, dry summers as they slowly develop into incredibly dense, stocky, and gnarled specimens.  Often in these prehistoric pines, much of the tree is dead while an incredibly tenacious living portion continues to grow for millennia. 

Depending on growing conditions, mature Bristlecone Pines achieve heights of 20 to 50 feet and trunk diameters of 1 to 2-1/2 feet, and generally feature extremely dense, irregular crowns. Bristlecone Pines have lustrous, deep green needles, arranged in groups of five and often bespeckled with white droplets of resin. Long tufts of foliage cluster at the ends of the trees' short stout branches. Bristlecone Pine cones are dark chocolate to purple-brown in color, oval-shaped, and 3 to 3-1/2 inches long — each cone scale armed with the tree's distinctive 3/4" name-sake "bristle." 

The astounding longevity and amazing hardiness of the Bristlecone Pine make it an attractive, slow-growing tree, perfect for ornamental planting in a diverse range of climates. In cultivation, Bristlecones take on a form quite different from their wild subalpine brethren, becoming symmetrical, even luxuriant trees, fully clothed in dense, very dark, shimmering needles. Pinus aristata is remarkably drought-resistant and has been planted successfully throughout the U.S., Canada, and elsewhere (including Iceland!). Its diminutive size and slow growth commend Bristlecone Pine as an excellent species for container-growing.

Best oil hands down
Size: 5 L
This is the only oil I use now, my mechanic recommended it. Works great in my Mazda3, runs smooth and no leaks. More expensive but, worth it.

Best Oil on the Market
Size: 5 L
I’ve used this and only this in my 15 Scion FRS since I bought it . I used to change it every 5k but I retired and now it’s a once a year oil change with less than 5k per year. The car has never had any issues with this oil . Since NASCAR changes oil in the cars every 500 miles I don’t whine about changing it once a year. $40 for oil is better than $10k for another built motor

I just got it changed about 30 min ago and the engine sounds like a little cat
Size: 5 L
My Audi factory setting says I should use VW 508.00. Somewhere online it says 5w-40. It's 82000 miles and I decided to give it a shot to go 0W-20 which is what VW508.00 is. I just got it changed about 30 min ago and the engine sounds like a little cat. The gas pedal feel is very smooth, there's definitely less resistance when pushing forward. In Sports mode driving, the engine is not as loud and the lag or drag is noticeably less. And when it hits 100k, I will do a engine flush to see if I can get further improvements. So far, I really love Liqui Moly. I used to use it on my S500 and it was very smooth. A little more money goes a long way! Don't settle for less for your German cars. Update: I just did another 1000 miles in a week to Vegas and back. The fuel economy improved about 20%. The power increase is amazing. I could notice when I am going fast, the sustained speed at high speed is easy and continuous, It doesn't just hit a snag when your foot is off the pedal. And the engine is definitely a lot quieter and smoother. I am amazed at the overall improvement after using this oil. No other oil will do from now on.
