I lost a lot of the trees that buffer my pasture from my home when a storm came through 3 weeks ago. I lost at least 15 loblolly pines, most were uprooted although several snapped in the center. In the cleanup numerous smaller trees were removed by the machines needed in the cleanup. So here is what I did: I went to a forestry site and ordered longleaf pines. I am at the northern end of their range but there are 3-4 native longleafs existing here naturally and I have successfully transplanted one on 2003 which is thriving. They have a long taproot, making them less likely to get blown over.

Check out these seedlings! I was very pleased.
