  6. Loblolly Pine-Pinus taeda • 3 needles per fascicle • Needles 4-8 inches long

  7. Longleaf PinePinuspalustris • Very long needles • 3 needles per fascicle

  8. Shortleaf Pine-Pinus echinata • -2-3 needles per fascicle, not twisted • Echinata- meaning spiny cone • “Platey like” bark

  9. Shortleaf Pine-Pinus echinata • 2-3 needles per fascicle, not twisted • Echinata- meaning spiny cone • “Platey like” bark

  10. Virginia Pine-Pinus virginiana • short (4–8 cm) yellow-green needles • 2 per fascicle and TWISTED!

  11. ID Test 2 • Pitch Pine- Pinusrigida • Slash Pine-Pinuselliotii • Eastern Hemlock- Tsugacanadensis • Eastern Redcedar- Juniperusvirginiana • Leyland Cypress- Cupressocyparis x leylandii

  15. Slash Pine- Pinuselliottii • Rapid Growth Rate • 2-3 needles per fascicle • 59–98 ft • Glossy brown bud • Grows well in sandy soils

  16. Eastern Hemlock-Tsuga canadensis • Needles grow from 2 sides • Needles are flat but doesn’t branch in a flat plane • Tip of tree usually droops • Tiny little cones at the ends- ½” • Lacy texture

  17. Eastern Hemlock-Tsuga Canadensis • Tiny little cones at the ends- ½” • Lacy texture
