This pine is a straight-growing, medium-sized species, attaining heights of 20–35 m. The leaves are needle-like, in bundles of two, 5–8 cm long, slender (1 mm thick), and glossy dark green. The small, slender cones are 4–6 cm long, with weak prickles on the scales that are soon shed. \n* Pinus glabra foliage and cone \n* Bark of mature Pinus glabra |
