Sid Greer showing off his 2-year-old loblolly pine. Greer employed a method recommended by Texas Agrilife Extension Service in which nearly half the number of seedlings were planted (380) than traditionally planted. Greer also used containerized trees instead of bare root seedlings in order to get the survival needed for a fully stocked stand. His objective in using these methods is to avoid having to conduct a small wood (pulpwood) cutting, which is low value, and have a higher value chip and saw cutting at 10 to 12 years (Photo by Eric L.
