Murrayana pine at Beaufort

Date Added: 02 February 2017 Contributor: Norman Davidson Year of Photo: 1919 Picture No: 3479

Early photograph taken 1919 from a forestry album of 117 photographs compiled by an unknown Forestry Commission officer.

This tree species is almost certainly Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) and from the luxurious growth appears to be a coastal variety. Much confusion reigned at this time over the wide ranging varieties of this species which grew on the coast from Oregon to Alaska and eastwards into Alberta and beyond.
