Sugar Pines
We hold a lot of records here in Idyllwild, and one of them is home to the longest pine cones in the world. The Sugar Pine tree is known as the tallest “pine tree” in the world (Ponderosa Pines are close and Sequoia’s are NOT pine trees). Sugar Pines are not as common in Idyllwild as the other pines (Ponderosa, Jeffrey, Coulter) but you can easily find them higher up near Humber Park or Pine Cove. They grow up to 195 feet tall and the tallest known tree was located in Yosemite and was 273 feet tall. The branches can be up to 26 feet in length. The cones (pictured above) are the longest pine cones in the world. They can reach 2 feet long and weigh up to 2 lbs. The seeds are favorites of chipmunks, Steller’s Jays & bear. The trees can live up to 500 years. Check them out on the drive up towards Pine Cove. You can see the cones hanging off the ends.
