The term bull pine is a reference to many different trees of the genus Pinus.
Common bull pines include shortleaf pines, gray pines, and Jeffrey pines, although the most frequently sought is the ponderosa pine. Ponderosa pines in particular grow at an astounding rate of 1 ft. per year and can grow over 100 ft. tall given the right conditions.
Bull pines are the most commonly desired pine tree variety due to their tolerance of soil conditions which are unfavorable to other plants. Bull pines are incredibly sturdy evergreens that are used heavily in landscaping. They’re particularly good at preventing or reversing soil erosion and are often used to prevent the negative effects of extreme weather, especially wind. Due to their overall durability, bull pines are the primary source of lumber in the United States.
Bull pines provide a long-lasting home for small animals, especially birds.
Not only do they attract woodland creatures with their pine nuts, but their sturdy branches and needles create excellent nesting materials. Bull pine bark is also very fire-resistant, so small forest or brush fires can be weathered pretty easily, ultimately preventing habitat loss.
Bull pines are also fairly low-maintenance. Trimming is only usually required when trees reach a high level of maturity and sometimes isn’t necessary at all. Due to their preference for dry soil, bull pines don’t require any dedicated watering, and soil maintenance isn’t needed unless the soil they’re planted in is alkaline. Tree destruction by pests is also not much of an issue most of the time as they’re not favored by deer and insect infestations take many years before any long-lasting damage is caused.
