The longleaf pine offers many uses and holds a premier place in Southern timber. Estimates place the regional pine stand at 384 billion feet, with longleaf and Cuban varieties totaling 232 billion. Once valued for interior finishes, it now accepts stains and broadens its applications though oak and birch remain dominant.
The article notes a projected twenty to thirty year span for cutting Southern pines, with all four species declining in tandem. Longleaf pine reproduces slowly when young, unlike white pine and yellow pine, and saw steady use in railway ties, heavy timbers, and masts. Northern Europe’s Riga and Danzig pines supplied masts before Southern pines rose to dominance.
