Yup!  Welcome neighbor!  I'm in the bushes about 10 miles south of C'hoochee, actually closer to Greensboro.  What's going on around Grand Ridge these days?

Hey Raider Bill and DanG,
I've been mostly swatting at the yellow flies and bushhogging in between my planted pine tree rows.
Got 40 acres of 25 year old loblolly behind the house.

Loblolly Pine is one of the 4 major members of the Southern Yellow Pine group.  It is considered the fastest growing of the 4.

Loblolly pine, Pinus taeda, is the predominant commercial southern pine.  It is the most widely planted for commercial plantations and is the fastest growing among the native southern pines (as DanG points out).  At least 9 out of 10 pines planted for Forestry in the South are loblolly.

"Loblolly" is a term coined by some tribe of American Indians, meaning roughly, wetland.  There are several kinds of trees that bear that name, including a certain kind of Pine and a certain kind of Bay.  Loblolly pines are so common down here that if someone uses the term alone, it is assumed that they mean pine.

Hello woodbowl,thanks for the welcome.
Do you have a sawmill? If so I'd really like to see it running sometime.
