![]() places loblolly pine at a disadvantage in competition with its deciduous competitors. In the salt marshes along the coast loblolly pine is able to grow for long periods, but it does no tolerate salt spray.” Although “frequent fires have been most effective in limiting the original range of loblolly pine. Grows in deep moist soil, medium and shallow soils, well-drained sites however the “seedlings proved surprisingly resistant to injury by flooding. Stress tolerance to frost, drought, w/logg, sal. Consumed but non-preferred or consumed but recovers quickly.Ĩ. ![]() Also “suffers damage from pine beetles” (LBJ 2007). Rabbits cause frequent light and occasional severe injury to loblolly pine seedlings” (Wahlenberg 1960). This kills many loblolly pines during the first year or two after planting. Sheep, and especially goats, are inherently more destructive than deer or cattle because of close cropping and indiscriminate browsing. fortunately, loblolly pine usually recovers readily from early retardation. the form and vigour of young trees was often poor because of mechanical injuries by the cattle. Cattle seldom graze on pines if other green forage is available, but some incidental browsing and trampling damage can be expected in the first years after seeding or planting where cattle are not excluded. “Cattle and horses do less harm than sheep and goats, but in farm woodlands grazing by cattle may be a serious problem. Hogs feed off loblolly pine the least of the southern pines however they have been known to kill large amounts of young plants. “Animals large or small, and domestic or wild, often damage, but seldom prevent the regeneration of loblolly pine.” Although deer feed off young seedlings, growth is not notable reduced. In the non-coloured areas the plant is unlikely to establish as the climate, soil or landuse is not presently suitable.
