Pinus virginiana, also known as Virginia Pine, is a medium-sized tree that can grow up to 18 meters tall. It is often found on poorer soils in areas from Long Island in New York down to western Tennessee and Alabama. Despite being smaller in sandy soil, it can still grow on very poor soil. The yellow-green paired needles are twisted and measure 4-8 cm, while the pinecones are 4-7 cm long and may persist on the tree for many years. This pine is excellent for reforesting and provides nourishment for wildlife. It is also useful for Christmas tree farms and can provide wood pulp and lumber, but needs to be treated with preservatives to resist rot. Pinus virginiana is a perennial gymnosperm tree that can live up to 150 years. It was used traditionally by the Cherokee Indians for medicinal purposes and in cultural rituals. Currently, the Pinus virginiana is considered a species of least concern, as it is quite common in many areas.
