Effects of liming on height growth of loblolly pine

Limestone applied to a silt loam soil in southern Illinois over a 50-year period, or hydrated lime applied 2 years before planting an area with shortleaf pine in 1964, resulted in reduced heights of the pine through the 1974 growing season (1,2). Heights of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) at the end of 10 growing seasons planted on an adjacent area that was treated in a similar manner as the shortleaf pine, are reported in this note.
