Southern Pines.

When would you dig up a wild pine located in South Carolina ? Not sure what kind of pine they are,maybe Loblolly pine, but I just wanted to see how they would do. They have very long needles.

I would think that as the buds start to swell in the spring would be a good time. Never collected “down South” though.

Late winter as the candles start to move is the best time. Be aware though, they have long tap roots and can be finicky about being dug up.

Theyre grown for lumber around here as they are extremely vigorous. It might be worth growing one from a young age.

Someone killed a huge copperhead right in the same spot that I wanted to dig....

Where in SC? Loblolly has 3 needles per fascicle and I think smells lemon-y. (I don't remember exactly but know that it has a prettty distinct smell.)

I'd dig late winter or early spring.
