The Longleaf forest is noted for its aesthetic beauty and a rich diversity of plants and animals. It naturally grows straighter, tapers less, and produces a stronger, heavier wood than the loblolly pine. It’s superior wood quality brings top dollar for poles, pilings and grade sawtimber. While longleaf trees grow slow at first, they can catch-up on nutrient poor sites. The Longleaf lives longer than other trees and its long needles are preferred landscape mulch. It is resistant to disease, insect injury, fire and wind damage from hurricanes. In summary, the Longleaf pine makes dollars and sense in a variety of different ways for its owner.
