Not all seedlings are the same. ArborGen SuperTree Seedlings® are bred to grow fast and straight with better wood quality and disease resistance. Our experienced team of growers are experts in raising seedlings for specific requirements.

With a bit of innovative science, some old fashioned tree breeding, and a whole lot of soil, sun and rain, ArborGen is able to discover and promote the best of a trees’ traits.
Commercial foresters serve different markets and have different needs. Some end uses need trees with taller, straighter growth. Others need trees that have more wood density. For one landowner to grow enough trees to meet the needs of various end-users, he or she would have to plant thousands of acres of trees. Through careful selection, breeding and advanced biotechnology, ArborGen can deliver a seedling that embodies the specific traits needed by an end-user at a commercial level. Our goal is every tree, everytime.

At ArborGen, we combine more than 50 years of species selection research with the expertise to develop the trees’ most desirable characteristics and reliably reproduce them on a grand scale. ArborGen commonly uses four advanced pine breeding methods:

• Open Pollinated
• Mass Control Pollinated
• Varietal Propagation
• Trait-Specific Breeding
