Pinus elliottii, commonly known as Slash Pine, is one of the most rapidly growing southern pines and a magnificent evergreen conifer. Initially pyramidal in shape, it matures into a tree with an open, rounded canopy, casting a gentle, dappled shade beneath. Characterized by its long, dark, and shiny green needles clustered at branch ends, each measuring between 6-12 inches, Slash Pine’s foliage maintains its vividness for about two years. This stately tree also produces elongated chocolate to reddish-brown cones, serving as a vital food source for wildlife.

Thriving in acidic, well-drained to occasionally wet soils, Slash Pine is not only drought and salt-tolerant but is also acclaimed for its adaptability. Perfect for home landscapes, this species is celebrated for its versatility, capable of stabilizing soils and rehabilitating degraded lands due to its lateral root system. An exceptional timber resource, Slash Pine’s strong wood makes it an excellent choice for lumber, plywood, and more. Reaching heights of up to 70-100 ft. and widths of 30-50 ft., its towering presence is both an ornamental and ecological asset. Keep in mind its self-pruning nature, as it naturally sheds lower branches, requiring mindful placement away from high-traffic zones. Originating from the Coastal Plain of the southeastern U.S., this fast-growing pine continues to be extensively planted for its multifaceted benefits.
