I have no idea what these pines were doing here, apparently naturalized in this little spot. I have trouble believing they are Pinus sabiniana myself. It was the only California pine I could think of with three long needles that looked like this. The cones were very large too. I could not find whole ones that I could reach and I only had an iPhone.
