Akuyona nje inhlonipho ehloniphekile kuhulumeni, futhi kuyisihlahla sombuso
Ngo-1963, umuthi wephayini wawukhethwe njengomuthi waseNorth Carolina. Kunezinhlobo eziyisishiyagalombili ze-pine tree etholakala esifundeni (e-Eastern White, eLoblolly, Longleaf, Pitch, Pond, Shortleaf, Mountain Mountain naseVirginia), kodwa akukho okuhlukile okuyiyona "okusemthethweni" eyodwa. Abantu abaningi bacabanga ukuthi i-Long Leaf Pine yizinhlobonhlobo ezisemthethweni zombuso, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokuthi iNorth Carolina inhlonipho ephakeme kunazo zonke ebizwa ngokuthi "I-Order of the Long Leaf Pine."
Izinhlobo ezihlukahlukene zePine
Ngenxa yokuthi ikhula ngokushesha futhi ikhula kahle enhlabathini enhlabathini noma enomhlabathi (iningi lomhlabathi wethu), i- "Pinus palustris" iyisihlahla esivame ukutholakala kuhulumeni. Uthiwa ngokuthi i-longleaf pine ngoba ngempela inezidingo ezide kakhulu emndenini we-pin - izinaliti ezingakhula zibe ngaphezu kwamasentimitha angu-18 ubude! Lo muthi kulula ukubona ngoba izinaliti zikhula njalo ezinhlangothini ezintathu. I-longleaf pine ingaphila amakhulu eminyaka, ikhula kancane kancane ephila iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-300.
I-Southern long leaf leaf, isihlahla esihlukile, yisihlahla sombuso esisemthethweni sase-Alabama. Lesi sihlahla sasilokhu sithandwa kakhulu kulo lonke izwe, sineziqhingi ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-90 zomhlaba (kusukela eVirginia kuya eFlorida ogwini olusempumalanga, esolula entshonalanga eLouanaana naseTexas). Namuhla noma kunjalo, ihlanganisa kuphela u-3% wendawo. Kwakucatshangwa ukuthi kungumthombo ongenamkhawulo kwabahlali bokuqala, kanti wonke amahlathi asuswa ukuze asetshenziswe.
Ngenxa yekhwalithi ehlukile, yayivame ukusetshenziswa ekwakheni imikhumbi nemigwaqo. Esikhundleni sokutshala kabusha izinhlobo ezihlukahlukene ze-longleaf pine, amahlathi ahlwanyela izinhlobo ezikhule kakhulu. Bayawusizo futhi banomsoco empilweni yabo njengezihlahla. Zihlala ziqinile ngokweqile ezimvunguvini ezinamandla, zibekezelela kahle ukuthunyelwe, nokuphikiswa komlilo ngaphezu kwezihlahla eziningi, futhi kususa ukungcola komoya emkhathini.
I-Pine cishe iyibhokisi elibaluleke kakhulu embonini yokwakha, futhi kuze kube yi-1860s, iNorth Carolina ihlinzekela iphineyini yesizwe esikhulu.
I-Order ye-Longleaf Pine
Inhlonipho ephakeme kunazo zonke umphakathi ongayithola eNyakatho Carolina ibizwa ngegama lomuthi. Ekuqaleni kwakuhloswe kuphela ukuvakashela izikhulu, kodwa manje sekuhanjisiwe ukuze kudunyiswe abantu abahloniphekile.
