Jack Pine

Pinus banksiana

Summary 5

The Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana) is a North American pine with its native range in Canada east of the Rocky Mountains from Northwest Territories to Nova Scotia, and the northeast of the United States from Minnesota to Maine, with the southernmost part of the range just into northwest Indiana. In the far west of its range, it hybridizes readily with the closely related lodgepole pine (P. contorta).

There are historic records for native Jack Pine in Vermont, but they are vague and uncertain. There are also a few planted individuals scattered about. While it is very uncommon to run across this species in Vermont, any observations should be recorded if possible, especially if they may be naturally occurring.
