16_80 Yellowstone Ca_on curl up on the edges preparatory to falling off and so roughen slightly the surface. The leaves on the axis of young trees may and often do persist 11 years; on lateral branchlets 3 or 4 yrs, when a tree begins to bear cones (even if it be young) the leaves on the main axis persist but 3 or 4 years. The cones persist 2 to 4 years; on dead limbs they may hang until the limb falls. I noted local areas where the main axis was replaced b a broom-like tuft of 3 to 6 or 9 leading shoots. Witches brooms are not at all uncommon in this region on this species. |
