This is a Florida pine tree of epic proportions. Longleaf pine forests were once found across 90 million acres of the United States, but after the ecosystem was mostly destroyed for its timber and sap, sights like this big guy have become quite rare. In segment of Wild Wander: The Fire Forest, we'll learn about the adaptation that makes this species so fire resistant.
The oldest known longleaf pine in existence (not this one) is 470 years old and is located in North Carolina.
