Lodgepole pines. The cones need a fire to open and reseed the area.

Lodgepole pine is one of the first trees to invade after a wildfire. Its cones are protected by a seal of pitch that requires fire or heat to release the seeds. This allows seeds to stay on the tree or on the ground for many years until disturbance provides suitable growing conditions.
