Loblolly Seed Collection Project

The Georgia Forestry Commission conducted a Loblolly seed collection project at Arrowhead Seed Orchard in November 1971. Arrowhead is located approximately ten miles West of Cochran, Georgia, and seven miles North of Hawkinsville, Georgia, on Georgia Highway 126. The area involved in the project was approximately 2.5 acres of the Loblolly seed orchard. The trees were first established in 1957, although interplanting has been performed as late as 1966. The height of the ramets vary from several feet to approximately 55 feet. Presently, most of the cone producers are listed in the 30 to 50 foot height class. A block is 20 clones composed of 20 spaces long and 20 spaces wide or 400 plantable spaces, planted in a 16 x 16 foot spacing.
