I believe they are loblolly because the cones are not that big, I have had others say they have pine cones that are larger than the ones I have on my land. emtmike when I get a chance I will put together a how too, it is probably going to mirror what others have done with corn cobs, and cactus but if there is still interest in the way I did this will be glad to share
thanks for all the comments[
