Baling Tree Seedlings by Weight

A number of packing techniques have been experienced in the past four decades of forest tree seedling production. Methods range from the table graded, heavily mossed bundle to present day light polyethylene contained packages of custom grown seedlings. Other methods are being considered to facilitate future shipping programs. The Georgia Forestry Commission gradually worked into the field graded weighed wrap-around crate method the past three years. Customer reaction to a sudden change from an established practice prompted the gradual variance in packing. Seedlings are grown from seed sized into three diameters. Cultural practices are applied to produce uniform beds of seedlings.
