Spruce pine (Pinus glabra)

Family: Betulaceae

Common names: Cedar pine, Pine, Spruce pine, Walter pine

Distributed in: United States (North America)

Distribution overview: The least common of the southeastern United States pines, the species occurs singly or in groups on the low terraces in a mixture with hardwoods and with Loblolly and Shortleaf pines. Its natural growth range is the coastal plains from eastern South Carolina to northern Florida and west to southeastern Lousiana. Spruce pine is often a minor component of mixed swamp forests, and prefers moist lowland soils, particularly along rivers. It grows from sea level to elevations of up to 500 feet (152 m).

Environment profile: Some long-term concern for the species

Tree size: Trunk diameter is 100-150 cm

Colors: the heart isAges to dark rich shade of reddish-brown upon exposure , Whiteand the sapwoodWhite, Whitish.The grain isStraight, the textureMedium
