THE young longleaf pine forms one of the most striking features of the southern forest. When 5 to 10 years of age, the single upright stem with its long, dark, shiny leaves, forms a handsome plume of sparkling green, while in later youth the stalwart, sparingly branched sapling, with its heavy twigs and gray bark, attracts immediate attention. The. older trees have tall, straight trunks, 1 to 3 feet in diameter and open, irregular crowns, one-third to one-half the length of the tree. Longleaf pine is confined to the Coastal Plain region. It has been extensively logged, bled for tur- pentine, repeatedly burned and ranged over by native "razor-back" hogs until in many sections it has been almost exterminated or replaced by other pines. The leaves are from 10 to 15 inches long, in clus- ters of 3, and gathered toward the ends of the thick, scaly twigs. The flowers, appearing in early spring before the new leaves, are a deep rose-purple, the male in prominent, short, dense clusters and the female in inconspicuous grouj)s of 2 to 4. The cones, or burrs, are 6 to 10 inches long, slightly curved, the thick scales armed with small curved prickles. The cones usually fall soon after the seeds ripen, leaving their bases attached to the twigs. The wood is heavy, hard, strong, tough and dura- ble. As Georgia pine, pitch pine and southern pine, it has been, and still is, used for all kinds of build- ing and other construction. Naval stores, consist- ing of tar, pitch, rosin and turpentine, are obtained almost exclusively from this tree and its close rela- tive, the slash pine, by bleeding the trees for their raw gum. 8.
