Long Needle Pinestraw
By far our most popular among both homeowners and high end
landscapers. All bales are clean and
consistent in size with needles in lengths of up to 16 inches. It has more resin in the needles making it
our longest lasting and also our brightest in color. Even though it is our most expensive straw it
returns its initial cost difference with the most longevity.
Slash Pinestraw
This pine straw falls from the Elliottii pine tree, which
produces 7-10 inch needles and has more resin in the needles than the
loblolly. It is commonly called “Georgia
Red” due to its reddish appearance. The
color of this straw is typically reddish brown.
Of the three varieties that we provide the slash pinestraw has medium
color, medium needle length, and is our mid-ranged price. Beware of other
competitors who are selling slash pinestraw and calling it long needle, there
is a noticeable difference to the trained eye, and you will be paying more for
a lesser straw as it does not have the same longevity as the long needle
pinestraw. This pinestraw is very popular among landscapers, golf courses,
nurseries, and garden centers
Differences betweenl long needle pine Straw and slash pines staw
Longleaf
Pine Straw is also known as Long Needle Pine Straw and to our scientists’ Pinus
Palustris. Longleaf Pine Straw is the longest and thickest needle and carries
the heaviest wax outer coating which helps with its extreme durability and
longevity. Longleaf is also considered the premium pine needle in its category
and is widely used for landscaping.
Slash Pine
Straw is known for its cleanliness, durability, and affordability. Slash is
also known as the Yellow Slash Pine Straw and Standard Pine Straw. Scientists
know this as Pinus Elliottii. Slash is the most popular pine straw I found for
use in gardens and landscaping.
