Pinus virginiana, more commonly known as the Improved Virginia Pine, Scrub Pine, or Jersey Pine is a medium-sized tree that is often found on poorer soils from Long Island, NY, spanning through the Appalachian Mountains to Alabama and western Tennessee. Notably, some beautiful cultivated specimens have found their home in the Harvard Arboretum, Boston. This highly versatile pine tree is excellent for reforestation and proves to be a key source of nourishment for wildlife. Moreover, the Virginia Pine has uses in the timber industry, providing both wood pulp and lumber. The wood from this pine is known to case harden, becoming extremely durable with time during drying. Expect much higher yields from seed orchard material, tuned for improved timber production. This tree adjusts well to a variety of soils, ranging from well-drained loam or clay to poor, sandy soil. It typically grows 9–18 m tall, with a trunk up to 0.5 m in diameter, and has a life span of 65 to 90 years. Its yellow-green needles are often twisted and paired in fascicles, adding to its charm. The Virginia Pine is a majestic, hardy tree that serves practical, ecological, and ornamental purposes. Improved seed is collecting from stands of trees with better genetics.
