The Loblolly Pine Tree
You can identify this tree by it's needles.  There will be 3 to a bundle and they will be 6-9 inches long.  The needles will be stiff and dark green.  They will be more straight then twisted like some pine needles.  The pine cone will be about the 4-6 inches long.  These cones will have sharp prickles.

These pine trees can grow to be very tall - up to 100 feet;  they seem to take on that haunted look in the horizon when the sunsets behind them.
