Bristlecone pines are a group of three pine trees species known for their extraordinary longevity. They are all part of the Pinus genus, subsection Balfourianae. These trees are highly resilient to harsh weather conditions and poor quality soil. One of the species, Pinus longaeva, also known as the Great Basin Bristlecone Pine, is supposedly the longest-lived organism on Earth. Limited Edition art of 100.
