• Pine Trees catalogue Plant, or reforest Loblolly Pine, Pinus taeda – Foresters Guide1) The Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda) is it suitable for my land?This genus likes full sun and needs at least 800 mm of rainfall evenly distributed throughout the year. Unlike the Maritime Pine, its rooting system can go through the alios layer, which gives him a good stability. The Loblolly Pine prefers the typical soils of the wet moors, well-drained and without alios. It doesn’t tolerate active lime nor the surface water logging, but it can acclimatize to a maximum altitude of 400 m. The Loblolly Pines planted in France are sensitive to drought, dry grounds must be avoided. 2) Which planting density for my Loblolly Pine plot? (Pinus taeda)
The planting density is the number of plants planted in one hectare (acre). Here it means determining the initial number of young plants and to choosing their repartition in the available space.
3) How to prepare the soil to plant Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda)?In Silviculture, working the soil is a key element in the success of planting. The root system of the tree must take rapidly where planted. Whether the work is done mechanically or manually, we recommend working the soil in its depth for optimum planting. 4) How to plant the Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda)?a- Receipt, storage and preparation of the plants before planting
In all case, you must: Finally, the worker will tamp down the soil carefully with its foot. It is forbidden to press strongly or again to heel-butt the plant to avoid crushing the earth-ball and damage the root system of the plant.

During the first years, it is essential to eliminate all self-propagating plants. Not controlled they are going to be in competition with your plants and are going to deprive the young trees of the vital elements they require to grow (water, light and nutritional elements). You must therefore eliminate mechanically this unwanted competition until the trees are big enough to be able to dominate it.
It is in fact acts often carried out using portable thermic Strimmers or billhooks to clear plants on a line or around the plants themselves.
These actions are done using cutters and flail mowers, horizontal or vertical cutters, mounted on mini excavators or tractors. As a result, they cannot be undertaken outside the spaces available between the tree lines (plants or plants). 6) How to protect my young Loblolly Pine plants from wildlife (Pinus taeda) ?
There is a necessity to protect the plot as soon as the population’s density of Cervidae (deer and roe deer in particular) risk leading to significant damage such as undergrowth of the plants or friction of the stems. Sometimes, the setting up of plants’ protection is also necessary as soon as the rodents’ population (rabbits, hares, coypu, voles...) are locally important.
