slash pine
Southern resin producer
Slash pine is a fast-growing conifer native to the southeastern United States, valued for timber and as a source of turpentine and resin.
The name comes from the "slashes"—swampy, low-lying areas—where it naturally thrives.
The slash pine plantation stretched for miles along the coastal plain.
