Still, you have a greater variety of trees there than grow in Northern Wisconsinand Minnesota.  The success story in the western pine species would have tobe Monterey Pine (Pinus radiata) whose natural range is a couple small areas alongthe coast of California, but which is now the most widely planted pine in theworld for lumbar.  Wouldn't you know, it is now endangered in CA by a fungus.

There is, incidentally no tree that grows further north than the Tamarack.It grows right up to the permafrost arctic zones of North America.

The Torrey Pine is one of the three "Heavy pine cone" trees in California.The others are Coulter Pine, and Sugar Pine.

David Strang.  There is legend (true) that I hugged the first Sugar Pine I sawexploring in the Sierras.  It is the largest and tallest of pines.

One might also mention the Torrey pine, which only exists in two small 
areas, one near San Diego and the other on Santa Rosa Island in the 
Channel Is. Nat. Park. We visited there a few years ago, and pictures 
(in case you're interested) are at

in the 2nd & third rows. They seem to be doing well there, I suspect 
'cause the place is no longer one big cattle ranch.
