THE pond pine, also known as pocosin pine, bay pine or black-bark pine, is found in small swamps and on flat, undrained, poor, sandy, or low, peaty soils of the Coastal Plain.

The leaves occur in clusters of 3, or occasionally 4, and range in length from 5 to 8 inches. They persist on the branches for 3 to 4 years. The cones, or burrs, when open are noticeably globular in out- line, somewhat flattened, 2 to 2i^ inches long. Like aU pines, they require two seasons for ripening, but remain closed for 1 to 2 years afterward, and per- sist on the branches for several years. The bark is dark red-brown and irregularly di- vided by shallow furrows. The wood is resinous, heavy, often coarse-grained, orange-colored, with pale yellowish, wide sapwood. It is sawed and sold without discrimination along with lumber of other southern pines. In the earlier days of lumbering this pine was not much used for lumber. It is one of the few species of pine which, following cutting or killing-back by fire, sprouts from the stumps of young vigorous saplings. 11.
