Older trees tend to be flat-topped, while young trees can vary in form from that of a large bush when open-grown, to slender with relatively small limbs when grown in a dense stand. [7] Table Mountain pine typically has long, thick limbs on much of the trunk even in closed canopy stands. [7] Male cones are 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) long.
A mix of oak and pine tree species dominate the canopy, typically chestnut oak (Quercus prinus), Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana), and white pine (Pinus strobus), but sometimes white oak (Quercus alba) or scarlet oak (Quercus coccinea). Varying amounts of oaks and pines can result in oak forests, mixed oak–pine forests, or small pine forests.

These forests are dominated by shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata), Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana) and Loblolly Pine in the southern and western portions of the region.They can occur on a variety of topographic and landscape positions, including ridgetops, upper and midslopes, and lower elevations (generally below 2,300 feet (700 m) but mainly above 1,000 feet (300 m) ) in the Southern Appalachians.
