Mhando dzakasiyana dzePine
Nemhaka yokuti inokura nokukurumidza uye inokura zvakanaka muvhu rejecha kana kuti acidic (iyo yakawanda yevhu redu), "Pinus palustris" ndiyo miti inowanikwa kazhinji muhurumende. Iyo inonzi "longleaf pine" nokuti ine chaizvoizvo ine yezvinodiwa zvakanyanya kudarika mumhuri yepaini - sindano dzinogona kukura kusvika kupfuura 18 inches long! Muti uyu uri nyore kuziva nokuti nheyo dzinogara dzichikura mumatanda matatu. I longleaf pine inogona kurarama mazana emakore anoverengeka, nekukura-kukura kunorarama makore anopfuura 300.
Inonzi Southern long leaf pine, muti wakasiyana zvakasiyana, ndiwo hurumende yemutemo weAlabama. Uyu muti wakambove wakakurumbira mukurumbira munyika yose, uchifukidza mamiriyoni makumi mana ematera ematunhu (kubva kuVirginia kuenda kuFlorida kumabvazuva kwegungwa, akatarisa kumavirazuva kuburikidza neLouisana neTexas). Nhasi kunyange zvakadaro, inongowanikwa chete ne3% kubva munzvimbo iyoyo. Izvo zvaive zvakanyanya kufungidzirwa sekusagadziriswa kwezvigadziriswa kune vagari vepakutanga, uye masango ose ari kushandiswa kuti ashandiswe.
Nemhaka yehutano hwakanaka, hwaiwanzoshandiswa pakuvaka ngarava nemigwagwa. Panzvimbo yekugadzirisa iyo refuleaf pine zvakasiyana, varimi vemiti vakadyara mbeu dzakakura zvakakurumidza. Izvo zvakanaka chaizvo uye zvinogara kwenguva refu muupenyu hwavo semiti pamwe chete. Iyo inonyanya kupedzisira kune dutu rine simba, yakanaka kushivirira kune zvigaro, uye zvinopesana nemoto kupfuura miti yakawanda yakawanda, uye kubvisa kukanganiswa kwegoni kubva mumhepo.
Pine ndiyo inonyanya kukosha mumhizha yekuvaka, uye kusvika kuma1860, North Carolina yakapa zvakawanda pine rudzi rwepine.
