Discover the majestic beauty of the Pinus palustris, commonly known as Longleaf Pine, a native North American tree prized for its towering stature and ecological importance. Often reaching heights of 80 to 125 feet, with a graceful spread of 30 to 40 feet, this evergreen marvel transforms any landscape with its striking presence. Its vibrant, bright green needles—among the longest of any eastern North American pine—gracefully weep, adding elegance to its silhouette. Notably, the tree features large, spiny cones, persisting for years, and silvery white buds in winter. Adapted to withstand fire, drought and salt, Longleaf Pine thrives in well-drained, acidic soils, requiring minimal care once established. Ideal for expansive spaces like golf courses and parks, its open habit and captivating bark make it a landscape treasure. Historically important and ecologically vital, this species continues to face challenges, emphasizing the need for conservation and appreciation. Embrace the allure and resilience of Longleaf Pine in your landscape projects today.
