Table Mountain pine (Pinus pungens) is also called hickory pine, mountain pine, or prickly pine. It is most often small in stature, poor in form, and exceedingly limby. One large tree near Covington, VA, measures 70 cm (28 in) in d.b.h. and 29.6 m (97 ft) tall and has a crown spread of 10.4 m (34 ft). These pines are used locally for fuel and commercially for pulpwood, and they provide valuable watershed protection.
