Pine trees grow very well in the state of Georgia. There are a number of different kinds, Loblolly being the most prominent. This tree ranges in size from medium to large. According to the Georgia Forestry Commission, their average height is between ninety to one hundred ten feet tall. It is used generally for wood pulp in paper production. In the south, lumber is a big part of our economy. Tree farms can be found throughout the state. The Company nearest me is called T&S Hardwood. Their business started out around the 1970’s with just one mill. It later grew to three mills. Tree farming is a long, laboring process. Without companies like T&S, Georgia would miss out on a huge economical opportunity.
