Georgia's Experience In Hardwood Seedling Production

I have been asked to report on Georgia's experience in producing hardwood seedlings. Our work in this field has been rather limited except for one year. Several years ago there seemed to be a lot of interest among the general public about hardwoods. In 1959, we grew a dozen different species without any major problems from insects and diseases. Our problem was getting the public to buy them. There seems to be a new interest in hardwood in Georgia; the trend is changing from hardwoods that would grow in low or swampy areas to upland hardwoods. Since the public has shown an added interest in hardwoods, this season we plan to grow the following species: charrybark oak, black walnut, green ash, dogwood, redbud, catalpa, yellow poplar, and cottonwood cuttings.
