Jack Pine

$0.44

The jack pine (Pinus banksiana) is an important tree in the ecology of northern forests, where it is one of the first species to colonize after a fire. It is also used in reforestation efforts, particularly in areas where fires have destroyed the previous forest cover. The tree is adaptable to a wide range of soils and climates, but prefers sandy or gravelly soils and full sun.

Description

The jack pine (Pinus banksiana) is a coniferous evergreen tree native to Canada and the northern United States. It is a small to medium-sized tree, typically reaching heights of 30 to 70 feet (9 to 21 meters) with a narrow, conical crown.

The needles of the jack pine are short, stiff and about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) long, arranged in pairs and are a bluish-green color. The cones of the jack pine are also distinctive, with a curved shape that is about 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) long. The cones are usually closed, but open when exposed to heat from a fire, releasing seeds that have been stored in the cones for many years.

The bark of the jack pine is thin, scaly, and grayish-brown in color. The wood is lightweight, soft and weak, and is not commonly used for lumber or other products.
