What is this FL tree specie? (tree id)
« on: March 18, 2013, 01:30:45 pm »
Me again and I have been poking around the property yet again looking for bow woods. I thought this might be Australian Pine but not sure? Is this a bow wood ? I live near Tampa, FL.

Thanks for all your help guys !

apparently its condsidered an invasive specie which will make me feel alright cutting one down. Glad to hear it makes good bow wood I am curious how it ends up working.
