Silviculture is the art and science of growing trees to meet specific management objectives. To nurture the best trees advanced biotechnology can produce, ArborGen also has to develop the management regimes to support improved growth and yield. At ArborGen, we excel at finding the best management practices for growing our seedlings into strong, healthy trees. We use both traditional silvicultural practice and create new management plans like our new FlexStand™ system, which enables landowners to target both traditional forest product markets as well as the emerging bioenergy market in the United States. It is this level of expertise, innovation and understanding that gives ArborGen a true added value to every tree sold.
