Plant ID south Florida

It is certainly a pine but need lost more info before going to species level.
 
Pinus Strobus is a northern species. Doesn't grow in South Fla. It's hard to tell from the photo on this one-- Sand Pine, Slash Pine, Longleaf pine, Loblolly? I'd say Longleaf--three needles to the bundle, FWIW. Can't be certain though.


This might help show how to ID it.

and to confuse things even more, loblolly and longleaf often hybridize
 
Slash Pine, Pinus elliotii, likely the most widely planted pine in Florida, grows to 130 feet tall; has large, flat bark plates and large “brushes” of needles, 5 to 11 inches long in fascicle bundles of two and three. Oval cones are 3 1/2 to 6 inches long. I spend a lot of time in Sarasota:)
