Pinus glabraSpruce Pine Family: Pinaceae Identification:
Note: Native to the coastal states from South Carolina to Louisiana, the Spruce Pine thrives in sandy, moist and fertile soils but is tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions. Great irregularity can be expected in form as the tree ages. Young trees will have low branches with a broad, oval form whereas older specimens are more open and irregular. The dense canopy creates heavy shade where few plants will grow. The Spruce Pine makes an outstanding screen or windbreak. Campus Location: French House, southwest along parking lot |
