C. This tree, according to the Commission, is one of the outstanding forest trees of the Coastal Plain region. Slow in starting growth in the first two years, it makes up for lost time when it starts to shoot. Being fire resistant, it is especially valuable for use in forest areas subject to the annual practice of woods burning, although .planting of any sort is not recommended by the Commission unless fire control is considered practical.
