The sand pine, Pinus clausa, is a native pine tree and a relative of the common Florida ‘slash pine’. The sand pine has shorter needles, is smaller in height than its cousin, but does not live as long. Pine trees are cultural symbols all around the world! Going back centuries.  These special trees have a role in numerous cultures and folklore tales. For first peoples of Americans, they represented wisdom and longevity and in other cultures symbolic of fertility and long life.  

To those of Northern Europe, pine trees or fir, were decorated to celebrate the birth of Frey, the Norse god of the sun and fertility.  At the end of their year, as winter days got shorter, the tops of trees would be burned as a way of attracting the Sun God’s warmth.  This is also the origin of the first Christmas tree, and as an aside were used long before Albert, Queen Victoria’s Germanic husband introduced the decorated tree into our homes.
