About Bristlecone Pine

Bristlecone Pine is one of three subalpine tree species identified collectively as "foxtail pines" — so-called due to their dense, closely packed needles which resemble foxes' tails. Sometimes called "Hickory Pine," Pinus aristata, or Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine, was first collected by British botanist F. Creutzfeldt in Colorado in 1853. Native to dry, mountainous regions in Utah, Nevada, Arizona, California, New Mexico, and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Bristlecone Pine makes its home in an extremely hostile environment. Few ever see indigenous Bristlecone Pines because they typically grow above the timberline on exposed, rocky, dry slopes and ridges at elevations between 7,000 and 12,000 feet. Native Bristlecones growing in these inhospitable locations high in the mountains cope with long, frigid winters and very brief, hot, dry summers as they slowly develop into incredibly dense, stocky, and gnarled specimens.  Often in these prehistoric pines, much of the tree is dead while an incredibly tenacious living portion continues to grow for millennia. 

Depending on growing conditions, mature Bristlecone Pines achieve heights of 20 to 50 feet and trunk diameters of 1 to 2-1/2 feet, and generally feature extremely dense, irregular crowns. Bristlecone Pines have lustrous, deep green needles, arranged in groups of five and often bespeckled with white droplets of resin. Long tufts of foliage cluster at the ends of the trees' short stout branches. Bristlecone Pine cones are dark chocolate to purple-brown in color, oval-shaped, and 3 to 3-1/2 inches long — each cone scale armed with the tree's distinctive 3/4" name-sake "bristle." 

The astounding longevity and amazing hardiness of the Bristlecone Pine make it an attractive, slow-growing tree, perfect for ornamental planting in a diverse range of climates. In cultivation, Bristlecones take on a form quite different from their wild subalpine brethren, becoming symmetrical, even luxuriant trees, fully clothed in dense, very dark, shimmering needles. Pinus aristata is remarkably drought-resistant and has been planted successfully throughout the U.S., Canada, and elsewhere (including Iceland!). Its diminutive size and slow growth commend Bristlecone Pine as an excellent species for container-growing.

Difficult to rub in; sweat and water resistant; difficult to wash off
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I've used this spray sunscreen off and on for the past two years and have now decided to only use it after a long and sweaty work out at the gym when I drive home. It is much easier to apply onto the skin on sweaty/wet/moist skin than on dry skin. It is difficult to apply and rub in on dry skin. One should carefully apply and use a finger to do so to minimize stretching the skin. The positive about this sunscreen is that it is sweat resistant and will not seep or run into your eyes. It is also water resistant; therefore, it is a good sunscreen to use if you are going swimming. However, this makes it difficult to wash off, even in the shower using a face wash or scrub. I would not recommend this sunscreen for daily use. If you are wearing sunscreen for the purposes of avoiding incidental sun exposure, such as driving to and from places, locally, for fewer than 20-30 minutes, or if you are going for brief walks outside, use a different sunscreen that is friendlier on the skin. I WOULD recommend this sunscreen to anyone that plans on spending prolonged periods of time out in the sun, including being exposed to direct sunlight. If you are planning a day out at the beach, or going out swimming, exercising outdoors for over 30 minutes, taking a long road trip, or planning to do any activity where you will be in direct sunlight, this is a good sunscreen to use. It will leave a white cast, however, I have confidence that it will provide the adequate protection against UVA-1, UVA-2 and UVB radiation to protect your skin.

Good sunscreen
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great alternative to chemical sunscreen, spray is a little patchy and leaves a heavy white residue but that is to be expected. Works well and prevents sunburn so it's a win.

Great mineral spray sunscreen
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Purchased multiple times over the years. Great mineral spray sunscreen for sensitive skin. Does leave a white cast but that’s not a huge deal for us. Nice option for kids with sensory issues that hate goopy sunscreen.

Sun protection without the chemicals!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 3), Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I searched for a long time to find safe sunscreen. Prior to having kids, the ingredients in sunscreen (and many other things) were not a concern. Now, I do my best to make sure that anything going on my kids’ skin is as safe as possible. After hours and hours of searching, I finally found this product. It was more than I wanted to spend, but now that I’ve used it I won’t go back! My sons skin is as light as a sheet of paper and he doesn’t like to wear a shirt, so having great sunscreen is important. I use it for both kids as well as my husband and myself. I do not agree with the reviews stating that this sunscreen is hard to rub in; I find it quite easy! Just bought another pack for this summer!
