Longleaf Pine is a FL native pine tree that is also native to most of the southestern United States. It is one of two pines native to the southeast with long leaves. They once dominated the landscape in Florida. It is now estimated that they only cover 10% of their original habitat. By planting Longleaf Pine, you are helping bring back "old Florida".
Longleaf Pine can reach heights above 100 feet tall. It takes over 100 years for full maturity. It is unique in the fact that it is usually the first to establish itself in an ecosystem (like after a fire) but also remaining a vital contributor to the ecosystem once that ecosystem has been matured. Many native species here in Florida rely on the Longleaf Pine for habitat, shelter, and as a perch.
