Loblolly pine needles and mature cone Significance Loblolly pine is the most commercially important tree species in the southeastern United States, responsible for the majority of the harvested timber. Some of the products derived from this species include lumber, polls, pulp for paper and cardboard production, and biomass used for heat energy and biofuels.
Today loblolly pine, also called oldfield pine, is the most important commercial timber in the southeastern United States. Over 50% of the standing pine in the southeast is loblolly. The specific epithet, taeda, comes from the Latin word for torch and refers to the resinous wood.
