Loblolly Pine Information

Loblolly Pine, Pinus taeda, is the principal commercial southern pine species with nearly 182 million timberland acres across the southern United States.  It is among the fastest growing pine species and is predominately utilized in the production of pulp and lumber.

From deep, poorly drained floodplains to the well-drained rolling and hilly slopes of the uplands, Loblolly Pine can flourish and grow on a wide variety of sites.

The University of Tennessee's Agricultural Extension Service has published a guide filled with information about the species, effective management practices, and a financial analysis of costs and expected returns.
