This tree reaches heights of 18–30 m (59–98 ft) with a trunk diameter of 0.6–0.8 m (2.0–2.6 ft). The leaves are needle-like, very slender, in clusters of two or three, and are 18–24 cm (7.1–9.4 in) long. The cones are glossy red-brown, 5–15 cm (2.0–5.9 in) in length with a short (2–3 mm/0.079–0.12 in), thick prickle on each scale. It is known for its conical shape. Slash pine is a precious source of resin. A common harvest technique it to gouge a portion of the tree and let the material flow freely onto or into a container. This resin is a potent material and can be used to create naval stores, water tight seals and turpentine.
