Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The slash pine is native to the southeastern United States, found growing in the 'slashes' or swamps of the Carolinas to the Keyes. The fine quality pinkish wood of this tall tree 60-100' is used for flooring and was once heavily used as a source of turpentine and resin; its long 7-10" glossy green needles and orange-brown plated bark also make it a handsome tree.
