Why Pinus banksiana Should Be in Your Landscape
 Pinus banksiana, commonly known as Jack Pine, is a hardy, adaptable conifer native to North America. It thrives in poor, sandy soils where few other trees can grow, making it a resilient choice for challenging landscapes. 
The tree features twisted, irregularly shaped branches and short, needle-like leaves, giving it a unique, rugged appearance. Its cones are serotinous, meaning they require heat from fire to open and release seeds, playing a crucial role in the regeneration of fire-prone forests.
