Tree Identification

Looks like a cypress to me

Yep.

Loblolly pine

For all the downvoters:

The answer, for when you do not know, assuming the picture was taken in the southeast, assuming there are other trees in the background like there are here, as I learned in high school forestry class,

IS ALWAYS LOBLOLLY PINE.

I'll kiss your arse if there's not a loblolly in that pic!

It’s 2019, the tree can identity itself however it chooses

Planted white pine is actually very common in Mississippi. Very common. It looks planted, and so hey, if it's not cypress it must be white pine since they look very similar- and they do. I'm not convinced that it's cypress either. I think you're wrong.

And, you can't read very well can ya? I said in my post that you quoted, "assuming there's trees in the background like there are in this one, assuming it's in the SE, if you don't know, say loblolly pine"- since we have loblolly pine everywhere.

It was a joke, but since we're on the InTeRnEt, and tigerdroppings, and the homeowner board, it didn't go over well since we all have to be right.

With all assumptions assumed, I'll kiss your arse if there aren't loblolly pines in that goddamn picture. Now you pucker up, biatch.

I would probably lean bald cypress.

Agree w/ this but a close up of the needles would be helpful. It does not look like a loblolly or white pine to me.

Trees grown in the open such as that one look very different than the same species grown in a stand.

It is also possible that it is not a native species but an imported ornamental, but I still think it is a bald cypress.

settle down, mine too.

I'm just not aware of any growers in Mississippi selling White Pines. There may be or somebody is bringing them down. Really unless I see a closer up pic of the needle or bark, I assumed B Cypress because it looks like the one in my backyard when it's leafing out.
