Otherwise known as Torch Pine, this evergreen tree grows 40 to 70 feet tall. It has an irregular form with twisting, gnarled, drooping branches, and scaly, reddish-brown bark which eventually becomes black. Its cones occur in whorls of 3 to 5, while its needles occur in clusters of three, later turning dark-green. Pitch Pine is a hardy tree, resisting injury and fire, and growing in dry, rocky or sandy soils that other trees normally would not tolerate.
