Sugar pine: The cones are woody, 10-20 inches long, as much as 4 pounds, with thin scales, borne at tips of long upper limbs. Size distinguishes them from western white pine cones.
The sugar pine - the tallest pine tree in North America, which grows needles in bundles of five and produces large, long pine cones - is native to Tahoe.
The cones are often over a foot long and chock full of nutritious seeds that feed bears, squirrels and birds. Eagles like to build their nests in the tops of the tallest mature sugar pine trees.
In the Tahoe Basin, it impacts native sugar pines, western white pines and whitebark pines. Sugar pines are the world’s largest pine tree.
