Loblolly pine in central Indiana

last month

last modified: last month

Loblolly pine growing pretty far north of its natural range in central IN. Well formed in the open. IIRC, the loblolly near the office center of the VA State Arboretum near Winchester is of similar size (tho crowded by other trees).

Certainly far from its native range.

I wonder how commonly they are planted in the Midwest. Looks much better than that one at an arboretum in SE PA I ragged on!

It surely looks like it, was there any cones to rule out some possible pitch pine ancestry?

P and P, that's all the info I have on that tree, but I have to say, my pitch x loblolly pine does not have as good a form or as trouble-free as my straight loblolly or my pond pine. The hybrid is constantly attacked by shoot-borers at the top giving it a disheveled look of multiple sprouts.
