Learning to recognise trees by their bark. These photos were taken in Yosemite National Park. I would appreciate help identifying them. Hopefully I have the right bark with it's corresponding leaf! These cones were lying around under the tree, I just presumed they came from this tree!
Re: trees The tree and the foliage (pics 1-3) are Pinus contorta subsp. murrayana. The cones are Pinus jeffreyi. These two species often occur together.
Re: trees thanks Michael. I can't keep up with the postings, you are identifying them so fast! Really appreciate your help. Warm regards...
Re: trees Interesting the variation in the bark structure. Some of the trees that look quite different to me, are the same species. Not such an easy science to learn!
