It's still useful for when you're building fires! Pine is great for starting a fire, since it burns fast and hot, but you want a nice hardwood like oak or hackberry for a slow burn and coals.
EDIT: My regionalism is showing. Apparently what we call hackberry, Celtis laevigata, is often known as "Southern Hackberry" or "Sugarberry." Whatever.

I noticed it for the first time on my reread, but only because I don't know wtf "leatherleaf" is.
