BRISTLECONE PINES
BRISTLECONE PINES, IS KNOWN TO BE THE OLDEST TREE ON EARTH, TODAY:
FOR FOUR-THOUSAND-EIGHT HUNDRED YEARS, THESE ANCIENT TREES, WITH TWISTED TRUNKS, AND GNARLED LIMBS, ARE LIVING STRONG, AND HAVE SURVIVED, AND THRIVED FOR MANY A CENTURY, AND DAY:
THE ANCIENT BRISTLECONE PINES, TAKE ROOT IN SOIL, THAT IS WEAK AND POOR:
BUT WITH AN IRON WILL TO SURVIVE, THEY HAVE THRIVED, FOR THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS MORE:
THE BRISTLECONE PINES, GROW ON EXPOSED SLOPES, WHERE THE SOIL, IS WEAK AND POOR:
AGAINST ALL ODDS, THESE MAGNIFICENT BRISTLECONE PINE TREES, LIVING IN THE INYO NATIONAL FOREST. IN CALIFORNIA, CONTINUE TO THRIVE AND GO ON AND ON CENTURY, AFTER CENTURY AND, ENDURE:
