Also referred to as southern pine and hard pine. Formerly found in forests of immense extent along the Southern Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The amount of virgin timber is close to exhaustion but a tremendous amount of second-growth is taking its place. It attains a maximum size of 3' x 120'. Its wood is hard, heavy, strong, tough and durable, therefore, valued for bridge and factory construction, shipbuilding, docks, ties and flooring. The bulk of our naval stores at present come from this tree.
