Longleaf Pine Tree

This North American native evergreen is North Carolina's state tree and one of the most iconic pines of the southeastern United States. With long, dark emerald green needles reaching up to 18 inches, peeling reddish brown bark, and a naturally straight growth habit, the Longleaf Pine brings bold, graceful beauty to any landscape. These trees grow up to 2-3 feet per year, eventually reaching 80-100 feet tall and 30-40 feet wide, making them an outstanding choice for privacy screens, windbreaks, and mass plantings. Fire resistant and drought tolerant, they thrive in sandy, dry, acidic soil with full sun and are salt spray tolerant for coastal planting. The large pine cones produced attract deer, squirrels, and mice, while the forest habitat supports rare bird species like red-cockaded woodpeckers. Hardy in Zones 7-9, these long-lived trees can survive over 300 years, making this 10-pack an investment in your landscape for generations.
