I t all starts at a nursery — like IFCO Seedlings in Moultrie — where seedlings are grown. Seedlings come from the seeds of a pinecone, and the most common
seedling species to grow in Georgia are longleaf pine and loblolly pine. The nursery uses genetics and scientific methods to make sure that the seedlings will grow into a healthy and mature tree and be less susceptible to insect infestations, drought and other possible threats as they grow.
