I guess I should have looked at this post first, before the one with just cones. FYI: you can respond to your own post and put one picture per posting, and keep all the pictures in one place.

I think I spit on myself, typing that...

Now - maybe this isn't Pinus nigra after all, but possibly Pinus thunbergii (Japanese Black Pine). This is an introduced species used for stabilizing sand dunes.

A native species possibility is Pinus rigida, Pitch Pine, also native on sandy soils like the NJ pine barrens.

As you can tell, I'm guessing wildly. The number of needles in the fascicles would reduce this exuberance, as would a final authority like Resin...
