Pinus sabiniana |
Pinus sabiniana (sometimes spelled P. sabineana), with vernacular names including towani pine, foothill pine, gray pine, bull pine, and digger pine,[2][3][4][5][6] is a pine endemic to California in the United States.[7][8] Some sources discourage using the name "digger pine," considering it pejorative [3][4] ("digger" was a slur commonly used to refer to Indigenous Americans in the Great Basin and California).[9]
