Abstract

During the last 50 years Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana Miller) has emerged as a tree of commercial importance. Once regarded as a weed species, Virginia pine is short-lived and limby, but it makes rapid early growth. It is used chiefly for pulpwood. Some sawlogs are cut from older stands, but they yield only common-grade lumber. Occasionally an older, well-formed stand will produce some piling.
