Longleaf Pine is a majestic, long‑lived evergreen conifer known for its exceptionally long needles (up to 18 inches) and large cones (6–8 inches). Mature trees reach 80–100 ft, sometimes up to 125 ft, with straight trunks and reddish‑brown, fire‑adapted bark. It is one of the most iconic trees of the Southern coastal plains.
Native to the southeastern United States, historically covering ~90 million acres from southeastern Virginia to Florida, west to Louisiana and eastern Texas. Today, less than 3% of that range remains due to logging and land conversion.
Thrives in USDA Zones 7–10
Adapted to warm, wet, temperate climates with 43–69 inches of annual rainfall
Prefers sandy, well‑drained, acidic soils
Highly fire‑resistant thanks to thick, scaly bark and its unique growth stages
