is it a loblolly?
It’s a serious question, even though a little off topic for me.
I say it again - is this a Loblolly Pine? No, I hadn’t heard of a Loblolly Pine either, but now that I know that it exists it has automatically become my favourite tree in the entire world. Basic web identification of trees is a bit pants, and my tree book is in deep storage. Hence my throwing the question out to the blogwebonet...
A little context - I saw this tree in Norfolk, and it had these little bitty pine cones on them and they are pink – hot hot pink! And I was quite wowed by them, having never seen this before, despite living within 400 yards of the tree for a couple of years. That was a long time ago however and the tree may have been more immature than I was at the time. As usual, I have digressed. The question remains – is this a Loblolly Pine, and if it is not do you know what it is?
A tree doing loblolly. Maybe

I think it is Larch, saw some also at the weekend, but had not previously noticed them before.
My Collins tree guide agrees with Neil, looks very Larchlike.
Dammit - Larch it is. Loblolly would have been brilliant.
