Hollywud, I’m planting 35 acres in containerized LL and it’s costing me about $261/acre and that’s with me doing my own burning.
Got a question. Just bought 40 acres just been clear cut. Been told to let it set for a year and spray it instead of planting now. Is it worth the extra money to spray before? And what’s it running per acre to spray and then what’s it run to plant per acre? And what’s a good stand of pines bringing now days per acre. Guy told me he got 1700 per acre about a month ago.
What kind of stand was it before planting? If it didn’t have a significant seed bearing pine component, you could get away with planting pounce treated seedlings and then a release spray next year. Total cost would be around $175/ for loblolly. Can’t really do longleaf that way.
