The shortleaf pines are fire resilient. Many features of these pines help them to become resistant to the forest fires. These features includes the ability to sprout rapidly, persistent cones, and abundant seed crops, and the thick platy bark. The thick bark protects the cambium of the plant from the fire heat. The terminal buds present on the branches are protected by the low needle flammability.
