Sand Pine

Foliage is fine-textured. Fast growing. Subject to root problems in poorly drained areas.

Highly flammible and old trees are weak.  Think twice about placing a building in a sand pine forest.



Forest plantings for dry sites, specimen tree. Best not planted adjacent to buildings.

Not salt tolerant of inundation by salty or brackish water.



Moderate. Tolerant of salty wind and may get some salt spray. Exposure to salt spray would be uncommon (major storms).

Roots are sensitive to disturbance.

Squirrels and other animals eat the seeds.

Dry sites. Scrub, scrubby flatwoods.
