DISTRIBUTION AND OCCURRENCE
GENERAL DISTRIBUTION:Pond pine is distributed from Cape May, New Jersey, southward through the coastal plains of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia to central Florida and southeastern Alabama [8,36], and is occasionally found in Mississippi and southeastern Texas [25,47]. The PLANTS database provides a distributional map of pond pine. Pond pine was introduced to England in 1713 where it still exists, although very rare [49].

HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES:Pond pine dominates the overstory of many swamps and other poorly drained areas that usually have striking changes in groundwater levels and are frequently subject to fires during dry periods [20]. Pond pine occurs in a variety of coastal plains habitat types. Associates of pond pine in wet pine forests include swamp tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica), water oak (Quercus nigra), baldcypress (Taxodium distichum), pondcypress (T. d. var. nutans), sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana), live oak (Quercus virginiana), loblolly-bay (Gordonia lasianthus), and redbay (Persea borbonia) [25,35,47,57]. Tree species associated with pond pine in savannas of the coastal plain include longleaf pine, loblolly pine, and slash pine (P. elliottii) [3,7,13,56,57,86]. Although pond pine usually dominates pocosin overstory, red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetbay, and redbay may codominate [13,86]. The wettest flatwoods of the longleaf pine communities are generally dominated by pond pine with loblolly-bay and a dense shrub layer [55]. References describing pond pine as a community or habitat dominant or subdominant include: The phytosociology of the Green Swamp, North Carolina [33] Ecological land classification: applications to identify the productive potential of southern forests [48] The natural communities of South Carolina [53]
