Jeffrey pine on Mount Kaweah

Caption

Sandwiched between a lodgepole pine on the left and a foxtail pine on the right is the first Jeffrey pine tree UC Davis Professor Hugh Safford observed in September 2024 on a hike on the south slope of Mount Kaweah. Lodgepole and foxtail pine are commonly found above timberline, but the Jeffrey stood out as “not belonging there.”
