Description

Jack Pine
Description Jack pine (Pinus banksiana) is a small-to-medium sized evergreen tree. It is an interesting tree with a 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. Young jack pine is susceptible to deer pressure.
