Longleaf Pine Tree β Hardy & Iconic Southern Evergreen
β’ The Longleaf Pine Tree (Pinus palustris) is an iconic southern pine species, known for its resilience, towering height, and high-value timber. This long-lived evergreen can grow for centuries, making it a staple in reforestation projects, commercial timberlands, and large landscapes. Its deep green needles, which can reach up to 18 inches long, create a distinctive look, while its thick, fire-resistant bark provides excellent protection against wildfires. Longleaf Pines play a crucial role in supporting diverse wildlife habitats, offering shelter and food for birds, deer, and other native species.
β’ When planted with Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Packs, Soil Moist Transplant Mix, Max Growth Tree Shelters, and Weed Pro Weed Mats, the Longleaf Pine establishes strong roots and grows into a healthy, long-lasting evergreen that enhances any property.
