If you see one on sale, it could be your next garden choice as it shades your garden plants, provides perfect shade that allows sunlight to pass through and "filter", and protects them from the cold and rough weather. I water it at least twice a week and it does well. It does well in all Florida zones, from North to South. It grows naturally in dry flatwoods, sandy uplands, dunes and scrub on the coastal plain of the Southeast US from South Carolina to Louisiana and my area. Ever sinch I got a small one of the South Florida Variety of the Slash Pine it has been growing superbly! It is still only about 2 or 3 feet tall but is one of the best. It thrives in full sun, adapts to little water and provides habitat, food, and shelter for wildlife. Slash Pine is one of the best native plants ever.

On Jan 28, 2005, melody from Benton, KY (Zone 7a) wrote: I recommend this tree over loblolly pine but otherwise longleaf pine is my favorite. Fusiform rust is only likely to occur if oaks are growing nearby, the fungus requires both trees for it's life cycle. It is susceptible to fusiform rust which makes large cankers on the trunk. It has replaced longleaf pine in alot of areas originally occupied by longleaf. It is the most favored wood for rough lumber. Slash pine is the most common pine tree in my area.
