Virginia Pine is a small to medium-sized, short-needled evergreen conifer that is good for animals. It favours sandy soils, yet thrives in thick clay, where other pines struggle to thrive. Sharp-tipped scales cover the cones, which contain seeds that birds and animals consume. Eastern Pine Elfin butterfly larvae (caterpillars) are attracted to Virginia Pine (Callophrys niphon). For extra winter appeal, plant Virginia Pine along forest edges or borders in your yard.
