Paris Mountain has a lot of Loblolly pines. The bark looks like a Loblolly to me.

I vote Loblolly as well, I have one on the back of my property that is very tall.

I vote Loblolly too.

Well, who can argue with 3 votes in favor? Thanks! Now I just have to find a source...

The seedlings are everywhere around here. I'm sure you can find one in your yard if you look hard enough :)

If the needles were really only 2 inches long, that would rule out Loblolly pine, wouldn't it? Pinus taeda should have needles >5 inches long.

I agree it is probably not loblolly with that size needles. I have tried, btw, to transplant pines in my yard - several different sizes. None of them have made it.

In Georgia, you can buy all kinds of pine trees very cheaply from the Forestry Service. You have to buy in bundles of 50. SC Forestry Service has a similar reforestation program. What a nice selection they have (they do have a couple of non-natives, steer clear of those). Looks like you can get them in bundles of 10 for $6-7.

Sandi, here are a couple of pictures of loblolly pines in my yard. Were the needles shorter than this?

Actually, I think they were shorter. I looked on the web last night after reading on GW that it may be Lobolly and found other possibilities. I thought it may be Ponderosa until I discovered they grow primarily in the north west. Then I wondered if it was Pinus echinata, the Short Leaf Pine. The bark certainly looks similar and the bark is why I liked it so much. Since I'm also trying get my hands on Long Leaf Pine, I guess the next step will be a search for the SC Forestry Service. Thanks again for the help!

SC Forestry does in fact sell Long Leaf. My favorite of the pines!! :-) I plan to buy quite a few this year myself. They are simply beautiful!! I now have Loblolly, White, Yellow and some Long Leaf on my land. I want more of the Long Leaf though.

Long Leaf pine are my favorite I think. In the cool, spring sunshine they glisten. Adele

Yeah the bark of Shortleaf Pine is my favorite. Their bark in my opinion is more divided and blocky than Loblollies. I like looking at large lone trees. They look like gigantic bonsai's.

I found the SC Forestry website (below). I guess they are not taking any new seedling orders until later in the season.
A catalog in pdf format can be seen at this site. They have deciduous trees, too.

Right Transplanted2SC, it will be later on before they take orders. I am planning to order some things from them. Now you know where to find a good price on beautiful Long Leaf Pine! :-)
