Direct Seeding: A Fast, Reliable Method of Regenerating Longleaf Pine

The urgency to plant cutover areas of upland forest has in recent years created a demand for pine seedlings that far exceeds the capacity of our nurseries and has prompted foresters and landowners to think seriously of direct seeding as a means of getting their land back into production.
