Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda)
The Loblolly Pine, a rapidly growing tree which can be grown on a variety of sites, is a very important timber tree growing up to 120 feet in height with extensive natural range. It is available in rust resistant families.
Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii)
The Slash Pine, grown from a genetically improved source, is adaptable to a variety of soils. This rapidly growing tree typically grows to 80-100 feet in height and is normally a straight tree with long needles and large cones.
Virginia Pine (Pinus virginiana)
The Virginia Pine is widely used by homeowners as a privacy screen or a windbreak. Growing to 30-40 feet in height and rarely growing more than 10-12 inches in diameter, it is also commonly planted for Christmas Tree production. The branches are long and tend to droop; the lower branches are maintained on older trees which is an asset for its use as a privacy screen.
