The long needled Pitlolly Pine could make some pine straw in a plantation.
But I only have a few, so will just enjoy their fall needle drop.

How are these doing currently? I’m looking to plant some in eastern KS (do these donok in neutralish soil?)
Should do better in your warmer climate than mine. I had problems with winters, but they are one of the fastest growing pine trees.
Hybrid pines still growing well?
The two in the pic are alive and well. 1 last year got ran over by a round bale and I was hoping it would show its ability to sprout from the bottom, but never did. 2 this year declined after a winter of -20sF and look like they finally died. The best looking ones show more characteristics of pitch pine than loblolly pine. As I was noticing that through the years, I just started planting pitch pines and have had better results with them.
