PINE (PINUS) 
Pines are large trees, coarse and shaggy in texture at ma- 
turity. The larger species have somewhat compact cone 
shapes when young and may be kept in that shape for a con- 
siderable period. Their best use is as large specimens, either 
singly, in groups or large hedges, windbreaks and screens. 
The smaller varieties have a limited use at the house foun- 
dation, but are best as “facers’ for group plantings of the 
larger sorts. Few pines care for very moist soil, but thrive in 
medium to dry, and flourish in poor soil. They are full sun 
trees entirely, and withstand the most windswept exposure.
