A Former Champion

The grand tree you see here is a loblolly pine (Pinus taeda). It is unusual to find pines growing in wetland areas; however, loblollies can tolerate living in wet conditions better than other species. Loblolly pines are the tallest trees in South Carolina. This tree is over 150 feet tall and is a former state champion.
