What makes us different?
Our trees are carefully grown with a healthy and strong root system in a container, not bare root or shipped in a bag of shavings, so survivability is almost fool proof. The tree itself has many branches, giving it instant satisfaction out of the box.
Care
Loblolly Pines will grow many soils like acid, clay, loamy, sandy, and well-drained. The Loblolly pine can tolerate some flooding conditions and moderate drought, but thrives best in normal moist conditions. Loblolly thrives in full sun conditions when the tree get more than 6 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight a day. Fertilize in early spring with our SR-18-5-10 slow release fertilizer for maximum growth and plant health.

Companion Plants
There are too many shrubs to mention that go well with pines like Loblolly. Azaleas, hollies, and most other shrubs and perennials do well since the root system of loblolly grow deep-down and not wide restricting other plants to thrive underneath and compete with water.
