Conservation Package- Carbon Sequestration

Description

This package includes Shumard Oak, Sweetgum, Shortleaf Pine and Silver Maple.
Each species comes in a bundle of 25 totaling 100 seedlings in a package. 
These tree species have been selected for their superior carbon storage by soaking up carbon dioxide that would otherwise live in the atmosphere. Some studies show a forest can store over 1,000 tons of carbon per hectare (2.47 acres).

USDA Hardiness Zones

The primary guide to determine plant hardiness is the USDA Hardiness Zone Map, which divides the United States into ten zones based on average minimum temperatures. Each zone is then subdivided into A and B sections. A plant is said to be hardy if it can tolerate the lowest average winter temperature that occurs in a zone. Hardiness is affected by duration and intensity of sunlight; amount and timing of rainfall; length and severity of summer drought; soil characteristics; slope; frost occurrence; humidity; and cultural practices.
