Pitch Pine tree - TN Nursery

Welcome to TN Nursery. In today's video, we're featuring TN Nursery's pitch pine tree. The pitch pine tree is a rugged, evergreen native to eastern North America, characterized by its long, dark green needles, rough bark, and the production of resin-rich pitch that has various commercial uses. The pitch pine tree is also known as Pinus rigida. The latter term means that it is stiff, rigid, and has needles, which are thin, long, and sharp leaves. Those needles are stiff as well. They can live for 200 years and have been used to make things like paper, lumber, pulp, and turpentine, while their high levels of resin, which preserve them from decay, have resulted in them being used in the building of ships in the past years. Pitch pine trees can regenerate at a high level, utilizing their basal roots, which dig far into the soil if necessary. This helps them survive fire damage, and their thick barks help protect their trunks against that threat. To purchase this plant, please see the link in the description below. Visit our website today.
