Planting: Loblolly Pines prefer full sun - for best results, plant your Loblolly Pine in a spot in your yard that gets at least 6 hours of sun each day, with moderate soil that isn't too dry or wet. Then, dig a hole that's large enough to accommodate the root ball, place your tree carefully and back fill the soil. Water well to settle the soil and roots. Place a layer of pine needles or mulch around the base for moisture retention. Also, be sure the soil is firm after planting. If you can pull the tree out once it is planted, you need to pack the soil more tightly. 2. Watering: Your Loblolly Pine is moderately drought-resistant - water regularly while your tree is establishing, but rainfall should suffice after that. 3. Pruning: Prune your tree in winter or fall, and keep only the branches at the top two-thirds of tree. This will help your tree grow straighter and become more disease resistant. Immediately prune any diseased branches.
