The Virginia Pine (Pinus virginiana) is a medium-sized tree, often found on poorer soils from Long Island in southern New York south through the Appalachian Mountains to western Tennessee and Alabama. The usual size range for this pine is 9-18m, but can grow taller under optimum conditions. The trunk can be as large as 0.5m diameter. This tree prefers well-drained loam or clay but will also grow on very poor, sandy soil, where it remains small and stunted. The typical life span is 65 to 90 years.
The short (4-8cm), yellow-green needles are paired in fascicles and are often twisted. Cones are 4-7cm long and may persist on the tree for many years, often (though not always) releasing their seeds in the second year. In growth habit, some trees may be inclined with twisted trunks.
This pine is useful for reforesting and provides nourishment for wildlife. Its other main use is in Christmas tree plantations. It also can provide wood pulp and lumber.
Virginia Pine is also known as Scrub Pine and Jersey Pine.
