That was way bigger than I was expecting. We have a pine tree on my parents property about 40 miles south of the grand canyon that has grown about a foot and a half in about 20 years.
Thank you for not planting too close to the power line😅 I trim trees for the power company and its super annoying when tree farms plant within or bordering the right of way❤
Looking good! I also planted some Select P3 Loblolly in February 2016 at my place in Georgia. When are you going to do your first thinning? I think my consulting forester told me 9 yrs which would be 2025, but I'm already getting ideas of which rows I want to come out in certain areas to widen plots, etc. Curious what your plan is
Beautiful, fast growing trees. I have two planted on my urban 1/2 acre, and I have plans for three more in the spring. Can you make some money by having someone come and harvest the pine straw off the floor? It's pretty popular as garden mulch. I bet GP makes bank on the straw.
Thanks for the update. Curious, what part of Georgia are you in? We have acreage in Macon County and are just about to re-forest 80 acres with 3rd gen loblolly pines.
If he is buying seedlings from any sort of reputable source, and he is as he is buying seedlings from a commercial grower, these are probably 3rd generation improved loblolly pines. These trees are bred from the best growing stock available, and are going to grow a lot faster than most wild loblolly. Also, if this was an old pasture or farm field, there is residual fertilizer that really gets loblolly growing. Yes, site matters, too, and a clay loam is about as good as it gets for loblolly growth. If he has access to a soil survey, he may have a site index of 75 to 90 for these trees at index age, which is sometimes given at 25 years, but more typically 50 in the old soil surveys.
Yeah it looks about 10Ft The Rows look like 10 Yard Lines on a Football Field. 120 Yards on a Football Field counting The End Zones. I Can't Wait For My Pine to get That Tall and Dense It was Planted October of 2022, So it's Still a Sapling, I'm just an Impatient Jellicle. I give it another 3 - 4 years Give or take, I guess it depends on The Pine and The Weather, We had a Stage 4 Drought this Year, Now we're getting into The Rainy Season, things should pick up. I don't know The Genus of my Pine.

Cool! It is possible to have the straw raked, but it is difficult to find someone trustworthy to do the work. Thanks for watching!
Nice progress. When they were planted, did they have a hard time competing with the field grass that was there?
No affect at all. 👍
Wow!!! That's a ton of growth in just a few years
Great video they grew fast how many acres do you own
Wow. Awsome. I love your video and your trees.
Thanks for the update. Curious, what part of Georgia are you in? We have acreage in Macon County and are just about to re-forest 80 acres with 3rd gen loblolly pines.
That is truly amazing ..... beautiful country you own......
Wow Matt those grew fast!
Congratulations
Like your accent!
In 6 years! Dude, they are growing really fast. I live in Russia and here for this consistency pines needed 15-17 years!
We have ideal weather for pine trees, thanks for watching
Wow looks Awesome seems like yesterday
Beautiful ranch
Fast-growing and beautiful. You gonna chop them all down? :(
What if you pruned them
Do you market the pine straw?
No, most straw folks prefer long needle pine straw.
Now that you mention it, I remember that.👍
How much does a 50 ft tall tree cost pine tree
Wow
What is your secret to making them grow so fast or is that just how that species is?
Georgia red clay I guess. Also they had no competition. 👍
