My dad once said he could always tell when he was close to home, because he started seeing the beautiful Longleaf Pine trees again. He had to travel to Maryland for cancer treatments, and when he was on his way back home he loved seeing the pine forests reappear on the landscape.


Living amongst the pines, their beauty, the by-products, and the many uses has been a big part of my life. From stories from my mother, grandmother to neighbors who collected the resin and made useful potions. MORE
Many, many uses of pine:
  • Lumber for construction
  • Sawdust for adding to garden soil, chicken bedding
  • Pine straw for flower beds, trees, bushes, etc.
  • Pine cones for decorative purposes
  • Pine nuts
  • Pine needle tea (some types not edible, do your research on this one)
  • Pine oil, made from the sap for cleaning products.
  • Pine analgesic balm for pain
  • Pine resin
  1. Native Americans used the pine resin for medicinal purposes.
