Longleaf Pine – Living with Fire
SUMMARY: The southeastern U.S. pine belt features three main species, with the Longleaf Pine (Pinus palustris) historically being the most dominant. Longleaf Pines are distinguishable by their long needles (up to 12 inches) and large cones (8-10 inches). Their unique needle arrangement resembles candelabras, resembling a ball of three needles. This species evolved to thrive in fire-prone environments, developing fire-resistant traits and a “grass-stage” that protects young saplings from flames. Once abundant, Longleaf Pines shaped diverse ecosystems, though human activities have altered this natural cycle. Despite challenges, Longleaf Pines remain a striking element of the pine forest landscape.
