Knobcone Pine are a native to Oregon. Mostly they are found inland on dry,
rocky, or otherwise poor land for conifer tree growth. Something to consider
is that Knobcone x Monterey Pine crosses and pure Monterey Pine (both can have
similar looking cones to Knobcone Pine that remain on the tree for a good
number of years) have been planted around the state in many locations.
Monterey Pine being a coastal species in California, could have been planted
along coastal Oregon.
Something to consider, Dennis

Keith et al.,
Those interested in species distribution of vascular plants in Oregon will be
interested in The Oregon Flora Project:
http://www.oregonflora.org/
and especially their Oregon Plant Atlas where you can generate a detailed and
interactive point map of their voucher and observational data for nearly any
native or natuaralized species known to occur in Oregon (through very rare or
threatened/sensitive species are mapped more generally:
http://www.oregonflora.org/atlas.php
You can even add your observations to the project through a submission
process.
Regarding Knobcone PIne, there are no records in the atlas for the Bandon
Area, though the species seems quite well represented in Curry County. Tim R.
can probably comment further on the species distribution. Pines are frequently
planted outside of their natural distribution areas too, especially along our
coastal dunes.
I am sure there is a new species of Crossbill to come out of all this :)?

There is a stand of Knobcone Pine on the western edge of the Bandon State
Natural Area. I have not observed this species anywhere else in the whole of
BSNA or in any of the surrounding natural areas. Is there anyone on list who
has a sense of the natural history and distribution of this species in Oregon?
