What is a Torrey Pine?
 The
Torrey Pine (Pinus torreyana) is the most restricted and rarest pine
in North America. It grows in the Torrey Pine woodland or Pacific
coniferous forest. This pine is probably the remnant of an ancient
coastal forest, which has been reduced during the drying period of
the last ten thousand years to the sandy soils of the sandstone
bluffs and ravines of Torrey Pines State Reserve and Santa Rosa
Island. Extensive root systems and blankets of summer fog aid in the
tree's survival and propagation. The trees along the bluff are
twisted and gnarled into spectacular shapes by the omnipresent
winds, while those, which are sheltered, are more robust and erect.
The vegetation associated with the Torrey Pine woodland is a
mixture of plants from the coastal sage scrub and chaparral plant
communities. Further studies need to be undertaken to examine the
woodland microclimate and plants normally absent from the previous
two plant communities.
Torrey Pines Research is located relatively near the Torrey Pines
State Reserve in San Diego County, CA and as such decided to adopt
the Torrey Pines name for the company in recognition of the beauty
and tenacious strength of this living species.
