"Loblolly pine has been challenging to genetically engineer because the genotype is very difficult to regenerate into plants in tissue culture," said Gould.
Though significant improvements have been made in that relatively short period of time, she added, genetic transformation can hasten the improvement of loblolly pines to grow healthier trees with more resistance to environmental stresses such as drought, insects and diseases.
In the study, transformation of loblolly pines using the meristem-based method resulted in regeneration and survival of 10 percent to 30 percent of the shoots inoculated.

 McCurtain County Ecological Restoration of Loblolly Pine Plantations Draft Topic Paper
(Although loblolly pine is indigenous to the southernmost Ouachita Mountains, it was restricted primarily to river corridors and other low-lying areas prior to extensive planting by Weyerhaeuser Company; extensive areas dominated by loblolly pine did not exist in the Ouachitas until the late 1960s).
One option is to treat loblolly pine as a fully naturalized component of the local flora, i.e., as a tree species that will be part of many forest stands in the area indefinitely (meaning no special effort should be made to restore something closer to native forest species composition).
Loblolly plantations would be replaced with shortleaf pine-bluestem, shortleaf pine-hardwood, hardwood-shortleaf pine, and hardwood forests.

 Loblolly Pine - Pushing the Limits of Growth
Based on data through age 9 from loblolly pine plantations subjected to complete weed control and multiple fertilizations, growth rates to be expected equal or exceed those for southern pines grown in other countries under intensive cultural practices.
However, the differences in growth rates of southern yellow pines grown in their native habitat and in exotic locations also have a great deal to do with how stands are managed starting from the time of planting.
Below we present empirical evidence that growth rates of loblolly pine under intensive management in the southeastern U.S. may not be all that different from growth rates under intensive management in other parts of the world.
