 and barrens; in the north Atlantic states only near the coast; rare; most common and reaching its greatest 

 development in the south Atlantic and Gulf states, where, in the middle districts, it is the most common forest tree. 



Wood heavy, very hard and strong, not durable, coarse-grained, checking badly in drying; layers of annual 

 growth strongly marked by several rows of large open ducts; medullary rays few, conspicuous; color, light red, 

 the sap-wood lighter; specific gravity, 0.6928; ash, 0.25; somewhat used for cooperage, construction, etc., and very 

 largely for fuel.
