Rating for this plant:
The young stems of this tree look like candles before the leaves have emerged. When young it looks like a tuft of grass and because its habitat is fire maintained it grows rapidly to keep the foliage away from the fire. This tree is also a source of turpentine and is a very important tree to the rare and endangered Red Cockaded Woodpecker because it uses these trees to nest in.
