After my year of surveying in the Oregon coastal woods, the USAF saw fit to send me to southern Mississippi, where, I kid you not, there are managed forests of the scrawniest, puniest little pine trees that I have ever seen. Not much taller or bigger girth than some cornstalks in Nebraska cornfields. And all the trees are planted in rows and columns. Regular-like, farm like. Enough to make a feller scream. Maybe wish to transplant a 12-foot diameter at the base hemlock from your coast hills down to those Mississippi lowlands, just to show all those trees there what they should be aspiring to. Some things just should not be "managed".
