Jack Pine
Age: 2-0, Seedling Size: 12-18"
Sun: Full, Soil: Sand, Moisture: Semi-Dry, Height: 35-65ft.
Jack pines are one of the few conifers that are tolerant of dry, sandy soils. Jack pines have stiff, yellow/green needles bundled in sets of twos. This species is used for timber as well as reforestation and erosion control. However, arguably, its most important job is to act as a habitat for wildlife. Jack pine stands are also the only place where Kirtland’s warblers, an endangered bird species, will breed. Jack pines stand as food and shelter for other wild game species, including deer and hares as well.
