Comments: Slash Pine is self-pruning of its lower branches, is
somewhat pyramidal when young and forms an open,
rounded canopy creating a light, dappled shade
beneath. This allows just enough sun to filter through
for maintenance of a lawn beneath this tall, evergreen
tree or for underplantings of dogwoods, azaleas,
camellias and other plants which thrive in this high,
shifting shade.
