I prefer the loblolly. The heartwood is a trifle bit tart but nonetheless
has a wonderful presentation. The aroma is a wonderful boquet with hints
of squirrel p**p and black-beetle juice. Bark makes a wonderful stew when
garnished with longleaf spores and chopped red pine nuts.
Just kidding! :>)

I think the term "southern yellow pine" is commonly used to refer to any of
several species of pine used for timber from the Southern U.S. These would
Include, but are not limited to loblolly, sand and longleaf pines. The wood
tends to be heavier, more resinous and a little harder as far as pines go.
