Sikuti ndi ulemu wokhawokha mu boma, komanso mtengo wa boma
Mu 1963, mtengo wa paini unasankhidwa ngati mtengo wa North Carolina. Pali mitundu isanu ndi itatu ya mtengo wa pine yomwe imapezeka mumtunda (East White, Loblolly, Longleaf, Pitch, Pond, Shortleaf, Table Mountain ndi Virginia), koma palibe chosiyana ndi "boma". Anthu ambiri amaganiza kuti Long Leaf Pine ndizosiyana kwambiri ndi boma, makamaka chifukwa cha ulemu wapamwamba kwambiri wa North Carolina wotchedwa "The Order of the Long Leaf Pine."
Mtundu wa Pine
Chifukwa chakuti imakula mofulumira ndipo imakula bwino mumchenga kapena mchere wa acidic (umene nthaka yathu ndi yambiri), "Pinus palustris" ndi mtengo wochuluka kwambiri m'boma. Amatchedwa longleaf pine chifukwa imakhala ndizofunikira kwambiri m'banja lapaini - singano zomwe zingakule mpaka mamita 18 m'litali! Mtengo uwu ndi wosavuta kuzindikira chifukwa singano zimakula nthawi zonse. Longleaf pine ikhoza kukhala ndi moyo zaka mazana angapo, ndi kukula pang'onopang'ono kamakhala zaka zoposa 300.
Mtengo wautali wotchedwa Southern pine, mtengo wosiyana, ndiwo boma la boma la Alabama. Mtengo uwu unkakhala wotchuka kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, wokhala ndi mahekitala 90 miliyoni (kuchokera ku Virginia kupita ku Florida kumbali ya kummawa, kutsidya kumadzulo kudutsa ku Louisiana ndi Texas). Masiku ano, zimangokhala pafupifupi 3 peresenti ya dera limenelo. Zinali zophweka kuti zikhale zopanda malire kwa anthu oyambirira, komanso nkhalango zonse zimasulidwa kuti zigwiritsidwe ntchito.
Chifukwa cha khalidwe lapadera, nthawi zambiri limagwiritsidwa ntchito pomanga zombo ndi njanji. M'malo mobwezeretsa mtundu wa longleaf pine, olima nkhalango anabzala mitundu yomwe inakula mofulumira kwambiri. Zimakhala zothandiza komanso zotsalira pamoyo wawo ngati mitengo. Zimakhala zamphamvu kwambiri ku mphepo zamkuntho, zokongola zosavomerezeka ndi zolemba, komanso zowonjezera moto kuposa mitengo yambiri, ndikuchotsa mpweya m'mlengalenga.
Pine ndiye mtengo wofunikira kwambiri pa ntchito yomangamanga, ndipo mpaka zaka za m'ma 1860, North Carolina inapereka pine mtundu waukulu.
