Loblolly Pines (Pinus taeda) are medium to large trees with six to nine inch long evergreen needles that grow in bundles of three. These trees produce red-brown cones, have scaly plated bark, and a very straight trunk. There are nearly 1,400 young and mature Loblolly Pines throughout the Park. The small pine pictured is near Brays Bayou in view of the Bill Coats Bridge.
