Container Nursery

Shortleaf Production in Late Summer

Shortleaf Production Numbers South wide

The observed rapid increase in container seedling production is being driven by: High survival potential Wide planting window permitting late summer to early spring plantings Increased growth Lowering of initial trees planted to optimize sawtimber production or create wildlife habitat Efficient way to deploy higher cost genetic selections

Concept of a target seedling Height of 10-12 inches Root Collar Diameter of 4.0 MM or greater Root shoot ratio of .40 or greater by dry weight. Firm root system with Root volume of 5.5 cubic inches or better

Shortleaf Pine Seedlings

Keys to Be Successful Order seedlings by Jan. 31 to have seedlings for the planting season next fall or winter. Know and keep up with the seed source you plant. Plant seedlings early and deep to insure good survival. Do your chemical site preparation in June through early August. PLANNING IS ESSENTIAL!
