For Spring
William C. Vernam, forester with the Virginia Division of Forestry, reports that now is the time for landowners in Rappahannock County to order trees for planting in the spring of 1983. “Landowners should examine their properties now with the view to planting trees next spring” says Vernam.
Eighteen species of trees are being raised in Division of Forestry nurseries for spring planting 1983. Loblolly pine, white pine, shortleaf pine, Norway spruce, Scotch pine, yellow poplar and black walnut are among the forest tree and Christmas tree species offered for sale. Wildlife species include autumn olive, shurb lespedeza and sawtooth oak. Seedling prices range from $16.00 to $50.00 per thousand trees with approximately 800 trees needed to plant an acre of open land. Planting site recommendations are available upon request.
“Why should I plant trees?” is a question many landowners ask,” according to Vernam. “Benefits include a future timber crop, increased land value, reduction of soil erosion and stream sedimentation problems, increased wildlife habitat and air pollution reduction. Cutover land, abandoned fields, hillside sites are good planting areas.”
