Last week I lost 15 mature loblollies in a storm...some uprooted and some snapped in the center. (They called it a Derecho, not a tornado...I had to look that one up). Anyway, a great big healthy Loblolly (maybe 90 feet) was still standing proudly at the end of it all. But my neighbor, whose bedroom is about 60 feet from the tree's base implored me to take it when I was getting the others cleaned up. I hated to do it but It's gone now. He offered to buy me any tree to replant there. It is in full sun at the bottom of a sloping hill with lots of room. An evergreen would be nice because it would shield me from his house. I am considering a nice deodar cedar if it will work in my heat and humidity. How would this do in the deep south? Or any better ideas?
