Determining Seed Zones for the Southern Pines: Past and Future

 Dr. Ron Schmidtling, Scientist Emeritus at the USDA Forest Service, delivers a lecture on his own work in determining seed zones for southern pines as part of the Eastern Seed Zone Forum's series of online lecture and discussion hours. In addition to listening to the lecture,  participants had the opportunity to share their own expertise and get involved in conversation. This was the first of the Eastern Seed Zone Forum's online lecture and discussion hours aimed at providing both information about the creation of seed zones in general and a forum in which professionals, experts, and interested parties discuss the possibility of drafting seed zone guidelines for the eastern United States.
