[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 557960, member: 5066"]If they were 3' diameter longleaf trees, those were very VERY valuable trees, old growth! There is still 200+ year old longleaf trees/forest, you just can't cut them as most are protected on govt land. They have many thousands of acres of longleaf trees here in the southeast but, they are in the 50-75 year old range, still valuable as pine, just not "old growth". The plan is as i understand it, get longleaf "old growth" back as commercially available again & sustainable, it is a rather famous tree, naturally, this is gonna take time. The US Forest Service classifies longleaf this way 200 years old and older "old growth" Under 200 years old "new growth"[/QUOTE]
