loblolly
Coarse-grained conifer
Loblolly is a pine tree native to the southeastern United States, fast-growing and valued for timber and paper pulp.
The word originally meant a thick gruel or muddy puddle, and the tree likely got its name from the boggy lowlands where it thrives.
A loblolly bay is a different tree, an evergreen magnolia of swampy coastal regions.
