[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1126081, member: 4362"] I can get trees much cheaper than that through our forestry commission but I won't plant theirs because I don't like their genetics. I buy from a private nursery and they cost around $48/1000. I set a fair amount of acres each year and average 90% survival as long as I can do it the way I want to rather than being told how to do it by the government. There is a big difference in survival using a hand setting and machine setting. Hand setting averages only about 75% survival so stocking should be increased to compensate. Here is a clearcut I reforested a few years ago.

They do a great job and are near about idiot proof as long as the person in the planter can remember green side up.
