Plus, its quality wood is highly valued in carpentry and interior joinery. ### Taeda Pine - Overview ### Taeda Pine - Overview This species is called a **Taeda Pine**, also known as **Loblolly Pine** (*"tadea"* means "torch" in Latin and the Romans used the coniferous branches to make torches). This evergreen incense pine can reach heights of 30-35m and grow to a diameter of 50-100cm. Some reach a height of 50m when mature. This pine is known for its straight [trunk](https://ecotree.green/en/forestry-definitions#tronc)covered in thin bark and thin branches without significant whorls. The fine, soft needles are grouped in threes. This [species is monoecious](https://ecotree.green/en/forestry-definitions#monoique), so it bears both male and female pine cones. The male pine cones are cylindrical, clustered, yellow-brown, and 2-4cm long. The females are green at first, then turn yellow-brown and finally fully brown at maturity.
