Jeffrey Pine (Pinus jeffreyi) Cone  Glen Alpine Trail, South Lake Tahoe, California

Jeffrey pine and Ponderosa pine are both easily spotted around Lake Tahoe, with similar appearance at first look. 

Growing mainly in Sierra Nevada, I am one of the natives of California.
My cone feels gentle in you palm, unlike that of prickly ponderosa.
