Default White Pines in Fuquay?

"David F." wrote:

Hi Everyone,

I want to plant several rows of pine trees as a screen on my property
(around 50-75 trees). I like the appearance of White pines, but I'm afraid
that they will not do as well as Loblolly pines in this area of the country?

Any suggestion or recommendations?

Thanks,

David


Personally, I would consider something else. Pines will grow quickly
and get out of control. Consider a mixture of the many different types
of evergreens which grow in this area. You can even throw in some that
flower to add extra visual appeal.

Landscape Plants of the Southeast by Gordon Halfacre is a wonderful book
to use to select some varieties. Should be able to find in the library.
