Pine Tree Seedlings
You may purchase seedlings on line from the Texas Forest Service at College
Station. Here is the URL: http://tfsstore.tamu.edu/onlinestore/ Or, you may try their nearest local office, which is in La Grange, I believe. http://txforestservice.tamu.edu/abou...x.html#la_gran ge A copy of the reply. There are some genetically improved seedlings that fit the Bastrop area, more drought tolerant. Probably loblolly. But the turpentine market has been dead for a number of years. Extraction from wood byproducts to easy compared to the old fashioned method. "Larry Caldwell" wrote in message ... (Voltar) writes: Pine trees grow 'wild' in my area (near Bastrop, Texas).
