This species, which yields gum more freely, and gum of a higher turpentine content than the average longleaf pine, is always tapped when found in the pine forests. The rosemary pine, a variety of the loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), is sometimes tapped when it occurs among the yellow pines, as some of the trees of this species produce gum freely. 1 BULLETIN 898, TJ.
