Pinus taedaLoblolly Pine Family: Pinaceae Identification:
Note: Very similar to Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii) in form and character although not as tolerant of wet soils. Fast growing, the canopy also creates filtered light suitable for shade-loving understory plants. Long lived for a pine and reported to better withstand ice and snow loads than Slash Pine. This could possibly be a function of the drooping habit of the branches? Campus Location: Pentagon, southeast lawn |
