Jack Pine
Description Jack pine (Pinus banksiana), also known as grey or scrub pine, is a small-to-medium sized evergreen tree. Jack pine has an interesting curving trunk and cascading branches. Its needles are short, stiff, and olive-green. This hardy, drought-resistant tree is home in dry, sandy soils. The tree supports many birds, insects, and mammals, including the endangered Kirtland’s warbler. Jack pine is a great replacement for the invasive Scots pine.
