5 Pitch Pines (Pinus resinosa) at Crane Beach in MA. Leaves needle-like in bundles of 3 (2 for Red, 5 for White Pine), are thick and stiff like Red Pine. They are adapted to fire, and do well with sand, salt, and coastal disturbance. 0 comments · 1d ago · by Eli's Native Plants #beaches#coastalflats#ecoregion59
