New baby longleaf pine trees are sprouting all along my favorite country road. I photographed several against the natural green background but they are difficult to see against that background. So I provided a white backdrop and took the photo isolating the pine tree. It stands about a foot high but if left alone will grow to 60 feet or more and live 80 years or more in our local soil. Better soil will give a taller tree and longer life. Locally I hear them referred to as long needle pines.
