Excerpt from Longleaf Pine Management
Early settlers encountered a virgin longleaf pine forest from southeastern Virginia to east Texas (figure Some have estimated the original total acreage to be 50 to 60 million acres. Now that this land is settled, only 5 million acres of longleaf pine remain.
What factors contributed to such a drastic change? Conversion to other uses and species, unfavorable cut ting practices, and failure to provide proper regenera tion conditions are the principal culprits. But recent research and an array of successful experiences are giving hope that some of the lost ground can be re gained for this valuable southern pine species.
Longleaf pine grows well on a variety of sites, but is most often found on sandy soils low in organic matter in the surface portion and medium to strongly acid. Drainage often ranges from good to excessive.
