| To the original person who compiled this information, I made a slight change to the first line of the article. Originally it said:
The Pitch Pine (Pinus rigida) is a small-to-medium sized (6-30 m) tree, often contorted due to fire or weather. and I changed it to: The Pitch Pine (Pinus rigida) is a small-to-medium sized (6-30 m) tree, which grows irregularly which many consider "ugly." I made this change as I have not seen a reference confirming the tree is distorted because of fire or weather. The tree grows like this normally due to the barren conditions it is accustomed to. I imagine this is the niche of the growth pattern of the pitch pine. Xtimgx (talk) 17:43, 19 April 2009 (UTC) |

Edit to improve sort order in category Pinus
[edit]I edited this to change the sort order on the page for the Category:Pinus. It had been set to alphabetize under Pine. That might make sense for categories where there are a lot of trees and a few of them are pines; then all the pines group together. But on the page where everything is a pine, it made more sense to alphabetize under Pitch. 140.147.236.194 (talk) 17:53, 13 April 2010 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza
Sizes should be listed using imperial seeing as this article is about a species native to the U.S. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.235.233.164 (talk) 19:15, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
"Garside Tree"
[edit]This does not seem to be a common name or even a known name for pitch pine in the US. Is there any source or reference for this naming?? Google returns no links on the name "Garside Tree". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.160.218.42 (talk) 19:49, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
