The Loblolly Pine Tree, botanical name Pinus taeda, is a Texas native and one of the fastest-growing southern Pine trees noted for providing an important habitat for small wildlife, such as Bald Eagles. We love to plant them as a quick privacy screen solution in many landscapes throughout Houston. It can grow in most soil types and can tolerate some flooding, so it's an ideal large tree for our area. It is a popular tree often found dotting landscapes where we live and since it's an evergreen, it will keep its attractive yellowish-green needles all year long, so it can keep blocking out unwanted views no matter what season we're in. We also love to plant them as an effective shade tree where they are able to provide a cool shady spot in any landscape!

Loblolly Pine trees love full sun exposure and with proper placement around the home, can help to cool off hotter rooms.
