Trees, Tree Farms, Woodlands, and Forests

Photograph of Work Unit Conservationist [WUC] John Keck illustrating the retarded growth of a 5-year old loblolly pine tree planted in the shade. Planted trees were released by treating overstory hardwoods with 2-4-5T herbicide a few days after this photo was taken. Increased growth is expected. This 19-acre field as underplanted in 1946 is being converted from scrub hardwood to desireable pine. AR-61-588.
