Most of the info I could find include the "high-desert" and didn't specific what was Pine and what was not.

I do know we have one of the largest strips of Pine forest in the country though.

Ponderosa pine, yes. THE largest, in the world, I believe.

Google has finally failed me, you can get this information from Washington state, but AZ is all closed up on this. You would think with the largest Pondarosa forest in US, AZ would have data on this. I wonder if I called the forestry service if they would have a clue. I never seem to reach the know it alls when I call the government.

Anybody know where to find the answer, or just knows the answer?
Tell your friends that the national Christmas tree is coming from Arizona this year. Unless it's a cactus, we must have pines here.

What does a juniper tree look like. I live where there's Ponderosa and Jeffrey pines and incense cedars. Anything like that near Camp Verde?

I have worked, lived and traveled in Arizona, California, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Colorado and Idaho since the early 1960's. My primary contacts were in the timber and mining industries and being outdoor oriented and a sportsman, I have spent literally thousands of hours in "forested" areas of these various states. That being said (and accepted as background), I'm sorry to say that (IMO) "the type of Pine Forests (and areas of pine trees) that you are familiar with.....are not what you will find (in any decent numbers, or hardly at all) in The Verde Valley and/or surrounding area.

I'm sure your visits to this area (the Verde Valley) will answer a lot of your questions.

I should also add that, IMO, the comments and opinions posted by mohawkx, will be found to be accurate, honest and helpful. Good luck to you in your quest.......................and please post your impressions and thoughts after your visit(s) to the area.

Living in both states for many years I can say that it's a terminology thing. AZ has the "largest single stand" of Ponderosa pine in the US. All of the center of WA is more desolate than about any place in a AZ. Researching is part of my business. I will come up with area. As other have said the hard part is going to be what do you call forest. I an going to use the dictionary and it says " land that is covered with trees and shrubs"

Unfortunately Az did not report on this link below. Wa has 21 million acres of forest land.
Moderator cut: link removed, linking to competitor sites is not allowed
Note that on the above New Mexico has 16 million acres
On this map Moderator cut: link removed, linking to competitor sites is not allowed
that NM and AZ are the same shade of green and they are about the same size meaning they about the same amount of forest.

There is also some information about forests in the Statistical Abstract of the United States. It was taking too much time to download and it is getting late here, so you are welcome to go search on this website on your own.
