Pitch Loblolly Pine

25 plants per unit

This hybrid pine combines the cold hardiness and drought tolerance of pitch pine with the larger mature size, moist soil tolerance and fast growth of loblolly pine. Develops a dense, extensive root system that helps this tree adapt to extreme soil conditions. The long, naturally shed needles are used to make pine straw mulch for the landscape industry. Does best in full sun to partial shade. Height at maturity is 60 ft.

Bareroot seedlings are sourced from the Missouri Department of Conservation, and can be used for Christmas tree production or for windbreaks in the eastern part of the state.
