I’ve added 35 loblolly pine seedlings to my collection. Loblolly is a multiflush long needle pine that grows well here in Texas. There doesn’t seem to be much information on bonsai’ing this subspecies of pine. Ryan assures that needle length can be reduced through normal decandling and needle plucking. Other than that does anyone have experience with this species? All info is welcome as I explore this pine.
Andrew Robson has a large loblolly that he’s treated like a black pine and has had good luck with getting two flushes. I would reach out to him for advice. Not sure what that entails as far as growing out material from a seedling.
