The University of Georgia Institute of Gerontology has adopted the Bristlecone pine tree as a symbol of its education, research, and outreach missions. The Bristlecone pine is a rare and unique tree, known for its hardiness and extreme longevity. It has an exceptionally slow growth rate and can survive in both high altitudes and the harshest environments.
