More than 35.3 million
trees were sold to Texas
landowners during the
1960-81 planting season.
The one-year-old seedlings
were sold for reforestation

and West Texas.

namental or landscaping
purposes.
The pine seedlings-
loblolly, slash and shor-
tleaf-were shipped from
the Indian Mound Nursery
near Alto. These southern
yellow pines are used to
replant recently harvested
land and to convert idle or
understocked forest land in
to productive forests. At
the recommended spacing
of 8 by 10 feet, this crop
would cover approximately
64,906 acres.
Forest industries planted
113,400 additional acres
with trees produced at in-
dustry-owned nurseries,
and by direct seeding (by
helicopter or hand sowing)
2,900 more acres.
The 1980-81 season
recorded the third highest
total of pine seedlings plan-
ted during the 40-year
period since the Texas
Forest Service began
keeping records. The
record year was 1959, when
62.958.000 seedlings were
planted. Ranking second
was 1958 with 38,567,000,
and fourth was 1977 with
28.862.000 seedlings.
Landowners in Cass
County purchased the
largest number of pine
seedlings-some 3.8 million
>■■1 yvmt. Angelina Cuuniy

was third with 2.5 million

Rusk, Cherokee, Hardin,
Jasper, Nacogdoches,
Newton, San Augustine and
Tyler.

million seedlings.
East Texans are not the
only people planting trees.
A total of 268,325 windbreak
seedlings were sold last
year. The majority of these
trees were purchased by
landowners in Central,
South and West Texas to
establish windbarriers
around their homesteads,
pastures, cropland and for
improving wildlife habitat.
This total also amounts to
considerably more than the
199,525 windbreak
seedlings sold the previous
season.
Highest sales were
reported for Virginia pine
(76, 350), a species used for
Christmas tree production,
which is rapidly becoming
more popular in the South-
west Because of our longer
growing season, Christmas
trees grow faster here than
in the North.
Other popular windbreak
species sold included bald-
cypress, black walnut
(stratified seed), cotton-
wood, green ash,
honeylocust, mulberry,
Oriental arborvitae, Osage
orange, Russion olive,
Shumard oak, Siberian
