Whole Plant Traits: Plant Type: Tree Woody Plant Leaf Characteristics: Needled Evergreen Habit/Form: Erect Oval Rounded Growth Rate: Rapid Maintenance: Medium Texture: Fine. The dense foliage also provides cover and shelter for wildlife. The seeds are an excellent food source for gray and fox squirrels and wild turkey. Life Cycle: Woody Country Or Region Of Origin: SE USA Distribution: AL, FL, GA, LA, MS, NC, SC, TX Fire Risk Rating: low flammability Wildlife Value: This plant supports Imperial Moth (Eacles imperialis) larvae which have one brood per season and appear from April-October in the south. Russian used to produce steroids from pine pulp extractives in 1968 as well as turpentine used in perfumery, cigarettes, cosmetic, and toilet products. For that reason, the acreage and volume of slash pine are declining. Its ease of establishment and early growth, however, has extended its range to many sites where its performance has been less than ideal. Attributes: Genus: Pinus Species: elliottii Family: Pinaceae Uses (Ethnobotany): Important lumber tree. Slash pine is the premier tree species on many sites throughout the South.

Problems: Chlorosis of the leaves will occur in basic soils or irrigation with basic water. Fusiform rust, root rot and Fusarium moniliforme are the most serious pest of slash pines. It also does well in well-drained sites along ponds or streams. This tree can be used in home landscapes as a specimen or in groups or in naturalized areas but be careful with placement as it will lose its lower limbs which die and drop. It is an important lumber tree due to its strong wood and fast growth and is cultivated as such. Slash Pine is a tall slender pine with a straight to contorted trunk and a conical to egg-shaped crown that becomes rounded or flattened at maturity. It grows in the infertile soils of sandhills, flatwoods, and near wet lowlands, such as swamps and ponds. Planting density significantly affected species difference only in live crown length.Phonetic Spelling PY-nus el-ee-OT-ee-eye Description 
More intensive management significantly increased species differences in average height, stand basal area and total volume. Loblolly pine outperformed slash pine in terms of stand basal area and total volume, partially due to the higher cronartium infection and mortality of slash pine.
Average DBH did not differ between species. Loblolly pine consistently had greater average height and live crown length than slash pine. With the age 2–15 year data, species comparisons were conducted using a mixed-effect model for split-plot experiment design with repeated measurements, for average DBH, average height, average live crown length and crown ratio, cronartium infection, survival, stand density index, stand basal area and total volume.
A species comparison study was established in 1995 in the Lower Coastal Plain of southern Georgia and northern Florida, in which loblolly and slash pine plots were paired for combinations of planting density (741–3706 trees/ha) and management intensity (operational and intensive) at nine locations.
