Planning to install this yourself? We recommend a size 15 Gallon or smaller for DIY installations. These sizes do not require any offloading equipment.
Any tree or shrub that is sized by HEIGHT or CAL (Caliper- size where the trunk meets the root flare) is delivered with a large root ball wrapped in burlap (B&B). They are typically 1000+ LBS per plant. They will require heavy equipment to install. Installation is not included in the price of the plant. We highly recommend adding the ServeScape ‘One-Click’ Installation service (must be added at the cart page) for material of this size, or working with a contractor that can provide equipment for installation.

For any tree or shrub that is sized larger than 10’ HEIGHT or 3” CAL, the customer will be required to provide offloading equipment or a contractor to offload unless paying for installation through ServeScape. We will coordinate delivery with you so that your contractor can have equipment ready upon your plant's arrival!

The Loblolly Pine, scientifically known as Pinus taeda, is a large and fast-growing evergreen tree native to the southeastern United States. It is one of the most commercially important pine species in the region and is commonly found in forests, plantations, and landscapes.

The Loblolly Pine is known for its tall and straight trunk, reaching heights of 80 to 100 feet or more. It has a pyramidal shape when young, gradually developing a more rounded crown as it matures. The bark is thick, reddish-brown, and deeply furrowed.

The needles of the Loblolly Pine are long and slender, measuring about 6 to 9 inches in length. They are arranged in bundles of three and have a dark green color. The needles persist for about two to three years before shedding.

This pine tree produces small, oval-shaped cones that are about 2 to 4 inches long. The cones start out green and eventually turn brown as they mature. They release their seeds and disintegrate, allowing for natural regeneration.

Loblolly Pines are adaptable to a variety of soil types, including sandy, loamy, and clay soils. They prefer full sun and can tolerate a range of moisture conditions, from wet to moderately dry. However, they are most commonly found in areas with well-drained soils.

Due to its fast growth rate, the Loblolly Pine is often used in reforestation efforts, timber production, and windbreaks. It also provides habitat and food for various wildlife species, including birds and mammals.

If you're considering planting a Loblolly Pine in your landscape, make sure to provide enough space for its mature size. It can be a majestic addition to large properties, parks, or natural areas, offering shade, visual interest, and ecological benefits.
