Scope note
Species of pine tree native to the southeastern United States, from Texas to Florida and Delaware. It grows to 30-35 m (98-115 feet) tall. The needles usually fall only every two years, giving the species an evergreen character. The word "loblolly" refers to a low wet place, although the trees grow in other habitats as well.
