Ponderosa Pine | [ Sizes: Orig | Small | Thumb ] |
Large Ponderosa growing deep in First Creek Canyon and a major landmark on route to Mount Wilson in Red Rock, Nevada.
These trees were named Ponderosa Pines because of their ponderous size. They have deep root system that enables them to access deep water and keep the tree from blowing over. Ponderosa Pines can live as long as 400 to 500 years.
