Loblolly Pine

Pinus taeda

Description:

Both male and female pine cones were present on this Loblolly Pine. The mature but unopened female cones were green with brown spines at the tips. The male cones were dry and papery reddish-brown. This is just one of one of many species (and so many well-known names!) native to the southeast US. I used this tool to help me identify which species/most common name: http://www2.arborday.org/trees/whattree/...

Habitat:

From central Texas east to Florida, and north to Delaware and Southern New Jersey. Loblolly pines grow well in acidic clay soil, which is common throughout the South, and are thus often found in large stands in rural places.

Notes:

Spotted in an open & previously cleared/disturbed lot between industrial complex and uncultivated wetlands/drainage area.
