Different Bark Textures

Caption

Clockwise from top left: This shows (1) two lodgepole pines growing side-by-side with notably different bark textures, (2) a rough-barked limber pine that has been attacked by bark beetles, (3) a limber pine that has both rough and smooth bark, with pine beetle attacks only on the rough bark, (4) a limber pine with predominantly smooth bark.
