sand pine
Florida's coastal evergreen
Sand pine is a small pine tree native to the southeastern United States, particularly Florida, that thrives in sandy, nutrient-poor soils where other pines struggle.
It grows in scrub habitats and coastal areas, typically reaching only 20 to 30 feet.
The species is notably fire-adapted, with some varieties releasing seeds only after intense heat.
