Pines are an integral part of the North Carolina landscape with most yards having at least one. And truth be told, they are a fair tree. At maturity the substantial trunks develop attractive bark, copper colored and deep fissured.

In fact, the pine is the State Tree of North Carolina, and worthy of the appellation. From turpentine to timber, it has been a mainstay of our economy for centuries. 

But “pine” is actually a very general term, and the genus includes scores of species.
