Loblolly Pine Tree | Pinus taeda

The loblolly pine tree (Pinus taeda) is one of the fastest-growing and most widely planted pines in the southeastern U.S. Known for its towering height, adaptability, and year-round green needles, this native evergreen is perfect for creating natural privacy screens, windbreaks, or reforesting open land.

These 3–4 ft tall loblolly pines are well-rooted and ready to take off in your landscape. With proper care, they can grow up to 2 feet per year and eventually reach heights of 60 to 100 feet at maturity.
