About

Pinus glabra, the spruce pine, is a species of conifer in the family Pinaceae, a pine tree native to the coastal plains of the southern United States, from southern South Carolina south to northern Florida and west to southern Louisiana.

Where it grows

Pinus glabra differs markedly from most other pines in that it does not occur in largely pure pine forests, but is typically found as scattered trees in moist woodland habitats in mixed hardwood forest. To be able to compete successfully in such habitats, it has adapted to greater shade tolerance than most other pines.
