Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) is one of our heritage trees because it represents a historic forest type. The cultural and romantic connections to longleaf pine and the forest ecosystem it dominates is seeped in traditions of the South. Longleaf pine was first identified as a species in 1768. Historic scientific names included Pinus australis (1810). Other common names for longleaf pine include long-leaf pine, long-leaved pine, longleaf yellow pine, southern yellow pine, swamp pine, Georgia pine, marsh pine, yellow pine, southern pine, longstraw pine, hill pine, pitch pine, hard pine, and heart pine. The scientific name means "pine of the marshes."
