Planting Longleaf Pine in the Carolina Sandhills

For the last 30 years in the Carolina sand-hills, slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) has been planted almost exclusively, and with tremendous success. Recently, however, root rot caused by Fomes annosus has appeared in thinned stands, and foresters have reexamined the native longleaf pine (P. palustris Mill.). In comparison to slash pine, longleaf is more difficult to plant and grows slower. This study shows what the prospective longleaf planter can do to solve some of the problems confronting him.
