Best Answer

The sap from the longleaf pine, often called "yellow pine" is the life's blood of the tree. Most of the sap resides in the root of the tree, and is pumped to all the branches and leaves, as needed. The root is the storehouse for the plant. After the tree dies, the sap dries into rosin, and as the rosin crystallizes within the wood, it becomes hardened, much like plastic. The root of the tree is what is called "fat pine", or "lighter pine", after it is split and/or sawed. The other species of pine do not produce as much rosin/sap, so they do not have as much of the fat in the dried wood.
