DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Life History of Shortleaf Pine From sea level shortleaf pine ranges up to an altitude of about feet in the southern Appalachians. At or near sea level it covers more than 11 degrees of latitude, or about 800 miles. In the North the species is confined nearly to sea level. It attains its best development at altitudes of 600 to feet over the Piedmont and at 400 to feet in Arkansas. In both these localities loblolly pine reaches only to altitudes of about 500 to 600 feet, above which Shortleaf is the only important southern pine up to feet and the only conifer except scattering juniper above about 700 feet in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
