Garden Time
By H. E. Gardner
Recently I received a letter
from a prominent nursery
man in the Greensboro area
requesting information about
the "Marine" pine.
I was not familiar with this
species so I consulted a friend
and co-worker, Professor Wal
ter M. Keller, in the School of
Forestry. He very kindly
supplies rather complete in
formation and I am passing it
along to my readers because I
found it interesting, too.
Somewhere along the line
the nurseryman has confused
the names. What he referred
to was Maritime pine, Pinus
pineslra. instead of "Marine"
pine. The Maritime pine is
sometimes also referred to as
"cluster pine."
The Maritime pine is a
native of the Mediterranean
region. It is distinguished
from other species by thick,
deeply fissured, reddish bark
and by long stout leaves, per
sistent cones and long, stout,
winter buds. The cones are
securely attached and may
remain on the tree for several
years before dropping.
The needles are in pairs,
stout, slightly curved and five
to six inches long. They have
sharp points on the tips of
the needles. In appearance,
the Maritime pine most close
ly resembles Scotch and Aus
trian pines.
The wood of the tree is
quite hard, coarse grained and
highly resinous. It is tapped
for resin just as the Longleaf
and Slash pines are tapped for
this product in South Georgia
and Northern Florida.
In Western Europe this
species is the one on which
the navel store's industry is
dependent.
The Maritime pine thrives
best on light .sandy soils
which are deep Few trees
give better results on beach
sands and dunes. Another im
portant characteristic of this
tree is the fact that It Is
highly resistant to salt spray.
For this reason it is receiving
consideration for planting in
the coastal areas of North
Carolina.
The tree is not too hardy
and will not succeed in colder
regions. It is reported not to
be adapted to clay soils. How
ever. no information is avail
able on how far inland the
tree might be planted and still ?
be expected to thrive and do |
well.
Within the natural rang<
for this species, the tree will
grow to a height of 90 to 120
feet except when exposed to
heavy salt spray. Under such
conditions it is usually much
shorter, sometimes approach
im> shrub-like growth.
Thanks
Many thanks for the cards,
gifts and kindnesses shown
me while I was a patient in
Franklin Memorial Hospital
and Park View Hospital in
Rocky Mount.
