Shapeless bumps above the water, but expand into these starry shapes when submerged.

85.5 cm dbh, 27.3 m tall

Seedling about 7 cm tall.

Slash pine on the windward dune front.

On the lagoon side.

Behind the unstable dune front is a much more uniform slash pine forest.

Slash pine on the Gulf-facing dune front; the little round green shrubs are Florida rosemary. These pines have non-serotinous cones.

Attractive example of slash pine bark.

Funny little spruce pine seedling under the longleaf canopy, only about 2 cm tall but no juvenile foliage. Maybe it's survived a fire?

A P glabra about 8 m tall and 15 cm dbh. This is definitely the predominant conifer in this park since the 2018 hurricane.

P glabra seedlings, one with both juvenile and mature foliage

T. distichum var. imbricarium

P. glabra on the ridgetop, 17.7 m tall, 36.1 cm dbh, residual from the 2018 hurricane.
