Excerpt from Properties and Uses of the Southern Pines
Longleaf, shortleaf, and loblolly pine trees do not, as a rule, exceed 30 inches in diameter and 100 feet in height. Logs cut from the southern pines average below 20 inches in diameter at the top.
Longleaf pine commonly grows in pure stands of wide extent to the almost complete exclusion of other species.' It occurs principally in a belt 200 miles wide in the lower part of the Southern States which border upon the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. As longleaf pine requires considerable direct sunlight for its proper development and grows slowly during its early life, it is likely, except in very sandy soil, to be suppressed by competing trees of more rapid growth; there fore the chances for its reproduction on cut - over areas when left to the ordinary course of nature are limited. Longleaf attains a diame ter of 16 inches breast-high, with a height of about 100 feet, in from one hundred and ten to one hundred and forty years.
Shortleaf pine is a tree of the plains and foothills; in the South it rarely grows above an altitude of feet, and in the north ern portion of its range not above feet. East of the Missis sippi River the tree appears scattered among the hardwoods, while west of the Mississippi it forms large forests on the table-lands of the hill country, especially in Arkansas, northern Louisiana, and Mis souri. Under favorable conditions shortleaf reaches a diameter of 16 inches breast-high and a height of about 85 feet at an average age Of one hundred and ten years.
