Larry, I only recently discovered that we have Shortleaf Pine here. I used to think that 100% of the pine trees in the Pine Barrens were Pitch Pine. But then I found out that we also have Shortleaf Pine here. They resemble each other, but of course the shortleaf has shorter needles and smaller cones. There's also a difference in the bark, as far as I know. Barry

We have a lot of Shortleaf Pine in Central to North Ms., even some down here on the Coast.
