Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Vegetative Propagation of Slash Pine
Slash pine (pinus elliottii Engelm.) is considered one of the most important forest tree Species in the United States. Its wood is suitable for a great variety of products, and the living tree is the largest source of oleoresin in the United States. Slash pine is an aggressive invader of old fields and reproduces satisfactorily under proper management practices. Under the present reforestation program in the South the bulk of se'edling stock is slash pine. During the 1953-1954 planting season, over 260 million slash pine seedlings were planted. In the State of Florida alone, 70 million slash pines were made available from public and private nurseries during the 1953-1954 planting season. This large-scale planting program depends on an adequate supply of seed.
