Plants of the Southwest
Pinus contorta
Lodgepole Pine
Lodgepole Pine is tall and slender, used by the Indians for tepee or lodge poles. The heat of a forest fire opens the cones to expose the seed. Then the pines grow thickly together in same-age stands, all to about 70 ft. No pretreatment necessary though up to 2 months cold stratification may help. Zones 3-7.
