It is very common in the southern pine forests. You don't seem much in PA. It is just pine needles.

Pine straw mulch is a favorite material for landscapers and gardeners in the southern United States. Millions of pine straw bales are used each year.

One company imports it to Ohio. They are:
Southern Pine Straw Mulch Co. Inc.
Concord/Painesville, Ohio 44077
440-639-9441

They import it as a replacement for wood chips which can get artillery fungus problems. It is comparable to most bark mulches. It is slightly cheaper than pine bark mulches, but it is more apt to blow away when first applied. Some people like Pine Straw Mulch because it is a renewable resource. However, pine bark is a waste material from the wood products industry and needs to be used also.
