Hand Planting Loblolly Pine in Cutover
Youtube: Hand planting after site preparation - Hand Planting no site preparation
Planting increases timber growth with a healthier faster growing tree. A landowner can reforest either by natural regeneration or seedling planting depending on the objective of the land. A common practice is to plant genetically improved seedlings on cut over land or open fields which will increase the rate of timber growth.
The fact is, mother nature will produce around 50-60 mature larger trees per acre in a hardwood stand at about 60-70 years of age. After stands have been harvested and reforested with geneticaly improved Loblolly Pine trees after 30-40 years of age the stand will produce 110-120 trees per acre of mature sawtimber trees. More trees per acre equal a higher volume per acre resulting in a faster economic return.
