Tree Variety. Virginia pine (Pinus virginia) is the major Christmas tree species for the acidic soils found in East Texas. A grower can produce a 6- to 8-foot Virginia pine Christmas tree in 3 to 5 years, depending on soil and climatic conditions.
Pinus resinosa. Although it is mostly grown as a timber tree, the Red Pine can be used in the landscape as a specimen tree, a screening tree, or a windbreak tree.ed Pines should not, however, be planted where they will be exposed to de-icing salt spray or in excessively moist soils. The Red Pine has a moderate growth rate and will normally reach a mature height of 75 feet, but can exceed 100 feet under optimal conditions. The crown spread is generally 15 to 20 feet.
