Pine is the only pine native to Missouri. Pines were the dominant
woodland species in the Ozarks until extensive logging of old
growth forest beginning in the 1890s. Faster growing oaks then
spread to where pines had previously inhabited. Needles are
3 to 5 inches long, flexible, and are not twisted. Native Americans
used the buds to make a tea to expel worms. |
