| Botanical Name | Pinus taeda |
| Description | The Loblolly Pine is the signature evergreen of the Southeast Texas piney woods. This 15-gallon (15G) specimen is a vigorous grower, offering a manageable size for planting while still providing rapid vertical growth. It features long, slender needles and a naturally straight trunk that eventually clears its lower branches. Highly adaptable to the heavy clay soils of Willis and Houston, it is an excellent choice for homeowners looking to establish fast privacy or a windbreak. Its natural resinous scent and evergreen presence provide year-round interest. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 60-90' Height x 20-30' Width |
| Water | Moderate; prefers moist, well-drained soils but is remarkably resilient during the wet and dry spells common to the Houston region. |
| Zones | 6 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply an acidic, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to maintain vigorous growth and deep green needles. |
| Pruning | Minimal; generally self-pruning as it ages. Only remove branches that are dead, diseased, or damaged. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
