What is the difference between shortleaf pine and Virginia pine?

Shortleaf Pine and Virginia Pine differ mainly in shape and habitat. Shortleaf Pine grows taller—up to 100 feet—with a straight trunk and longer needles, while Virginia Pine is smaller, reaching about 40 to 60 feet, with shorter, twisted needles. Both are hardy, fast-establishing evergreens that thrive in sunny, well-drained areas.

Exposure

Virginia Pine Trees thrive in complete sun, needing at least six hours of explicit sunlight daily. They can tolerate some shade but perform best with ample sunlight, making them ideal for open areas where they can receive maximum light exposure.

How To Grow & Care Tips

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Trees

Bare root trees are shipped dormant without soil, making them lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to plant during the cool months of early spring or fall. To begin, soak the roots in a bucket of water for 4–6 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and ample space for the tree’s mature size.

Dig a hole twice as wide as the spread of the roots and deep enough to keep the root flare (where the roots begin to spread from the trunk) at or slightly above ground level. Create a small mound of soil in the center of the hole, spread the roots evenly over it, backfill with native soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.

Keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy) during the first growing season, and apply mulch around the base—avoiding direct contact with the trunk—to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stake the tree if necessary, and prune only to remove dead or damaged branches. With proper care, your bare root tree will establish quickly and grow strong for years to come.
