Book Description
Excerpt from Forest Plantations at Biltmore, North Carolina If all this planting were summed up on the basis of area planted, the total might be as high as acres, though this can never be more than a rough estimate because so few traces remain of the plant ings that failed. Some early failures, inevitable because of the new ness of the work in this region, occasioned considerable replanting. In addition, stands of native hardwoods were to some extent under planted. The records Of these operations obscure the facts as to total area planted, but it is probable that well-marked stands of planted timber never covered more than acres in the estate. Stands which have been cut to make way for agriculture or were on land which has since been separated from the estate are not considered in this publication.
