This is an endangered species. Please acquire only from reputable nurseries. Endemic to the central ridges, esp. the Lake Wales Ridge. Specimen plant in a dry setting or grow as part of a scrub garden. This plant has very interesting zigzag branches which provide considerable winter interest.

Fruits are showy from mid-distance until spring. Salt tolerance is unknown but given known locations for the plant, we assume it is likely to be low. Specimen or hedge plant.

Weedy. Casual wildflower garden, butterfly garden or meadow. Likely to be considered a weed by many.

This is one of the few pines that grows naturally in shade. Shade tree. Forest tree.
