Native Pine ( PINUS) Species Ranges in Georgia
University Outreach Publication
Georgia pines are more than filters for romantic moonlight. These pines have been and continue to be the most important trees for our quality of life. Georgia pines are the cardboard boxes which carry our food, the wood of our houses, and the materials which drove the industrial revolution in the South. Pines are considered by many to be the lowest of the trees because they are so common. Yet they are both the lead actors in an ecological play of the rural lands and urban communities of Georgia, and a backdrop for our lives.
