French names: Pin gris, pin de Banks, pin ch6tif, cypres*, pin des rochers. The jack pine is found right across Canada from Nova Scotia to the Rocky mountains and tlie valley of tho Mackenzie. It reaches its best development as a timber tree in northern ManiLol)a, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. In the open or on unfavourable sites the jack pine is small and scrubby, but when growing in pure dense stands it develops a straight, clear trunk and reaches a height of GO ft. and a diameter of 24 in. It grows on very poor soils and is found growiiig in pure stands on dxy, deep, coarse, sandy landc. It i? -^'so found grow- ing on are, rncky sittiations in scrubby, open stands. In ,tern Alberta the jack pine meets the lodgepole pine {Pinus Miirrayana), t ..hich it closely resembles and which is sometimes difficult to distinguish from it.
