Monterey Cypress or MacrocarpaCupressaceae Status: VulnerableEndemic to the Central Coast of California and restricted to two small populations, the Del Monte Forest and Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, south of Carmel-by-the-Sea. However, it is widely used in landscaping outside its natural range in California and other places in the world.Many of the Monterey cypress have lichens draping from the branches, which reminds me of the Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides)* hanging from bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) in the southern USA.

1980, 29. Okt. Artenschutz von Bumen und Struchern.Die Sibirische Zirbelkiefer (Pinus sibirica) ist eine Baumart aus der Gattung der Kiefern (Pinus) innerhalb der Familie der Kieferngewchse (Pinaceae). Sie wird von vielen Autoren auch als Unterart oder als Variett der Zirbelkiefer (Pinus cembra) gefhrt.BeschreibungDie Sibirische Zirbelkiefer ist ein immergrner Baum, der an geeigneten Standorten bis zu 40 Meter hoch werden kann. Sie bildet eine tief reichende Krone aus, wobei ber die Beastung unterschiedliche Berichte vorliegen. Bume die in der Nhe der Stadt Perm wachsen sollen 20 bis 25 Meter lange, astfreie Stmme besitzen. Auf nassen Standorten findet keine Astreinigung statt und die Stmme sind meist beulig verformt. Die Farbe und Struktur der Borke unterliegen einer groen Variation, die vor allem an der sdlichen Grenze des natrlichen Verbreitungsgebietes ausgeprgt ist. Ebenso verhlt es sich mit der Gre, der Farbe und der Gestalt der Zapfen. Die Zapfen sind lnger und strker walzenfrmig als die der Zirbelkiefer. Die Samen sind grer und besitzen eine dnnere Schale.

2010-06-25 Lower Austria, district Neunkirchen (Gloggnitz greywacke hills, 810 m AMSL).German name: (sterreichische) SchwarzfhreThe cuts in the tree trunks you see here show that pine resin has been extracted. The method is described on this
German Wiki page.Only a couple of decades ago the profession of Pecher still was practised in Lower Austria (these trees are proof of that too; actually, those cuts might even be younger than 10 years); nowadays you only see fresh cuts near Hernstein (close to the town of Bernstein, Lower Austria) where they keep up the tradition for tourists - it is no longer profitable as synthetic materials replace natural resin.Here on this place, or so it seems, it has been given up some years ago.Trees do suffer from the treatment, but they survive it all right; timber from those trees however is of minor quality.
