Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana) is a medium-sized tree typically found on poorer soils along the Appalachian Mountains from New York to Alabama. It grows 9-18 meters tall under normal conditions and up to 0.5 meters in diameter, with a typical lifespan of 65-90 years. The pine has short, twisted yellow-green needle pairs and 4-7 centimeter cones that may remain on the tree for years, sometimes releasing seeds in the second year. Virginia pine is useful for reforestation, providing wildlife habitat, and is used for Christmas trees and wood pulp/lumber, despite its sharp needles and yellow winter color.

2. Pinus virginiana
(Virginia Pine, Scrub Pine, Jersey
Pine) is a medium-sized tree, often
found on poorer soils from Long
Island in southern New York south
through the Appalachian
Mountains to
western Tennessee and Alabama.The
usual size range for this pine is 9–18
m, but can grow taller under optimum
conditions. The trunk can be as large
as 0.5 m diameter. The typical life
span is 65 to 90 years. The leaf type is
simple. There are also some nice
cultivated specimens of Pinus
virginiana in the Harvard
Arboretum in Boston, Massachusetts.

 The short (4–8 cm), yellow-green needles
are paired in fascicles and are often
twisted. Pinecones are 4-7 cm long and
may persist on the tree for many years,
often (though not always) releasing their
seeds in the second year. In growth habit,
some trees may be inclined with twisted
trunks.
 This pine is useful for reforesting and
provides nourishment for wildlife. Its
other main use is on Christmas tree
farms, despite having sharp-
tipped needles and yellowish winter
color. It also can provide wood
pulp and lumber.
