I think you would have find somebody in Monterey. I think the tree is protected and might have tree huggers living in them. I am not sure but I think they grow just on the coast and in a small area. Perhaps we have a member in Monterey that will help you. I would love to get ahold of some Bristle Cone Pine from Eastern CA but you can't even pick up a dead branch These trees are way over 5K years old and only live in one place 11,000 feet up in the White Mountains.
