- Trees
These trees on Mt. Pinos, on the border of Santa Barbara and Kern counties, where the Sierra Nevada, Central Coast ranges and mountains of Southern California intersect, are distinct from Abies lowiana of the Sierra Nevada. The needles are very short and stiff, (3/4" to 1" long), similar to the trees in Southern California and the San Pedro Martir of Baja California. They do not have flat shade needles like Abies lowiana, rather, all needles are upright like true Abies concolor.
