Helping People Grow Trees
International Forest Company became the only forest nursery company with international in its name in November 2007 as International Paper Company sold its nursery operations to ArborGen, LLC. Hopefully, this will help in reducing the confusion in our names.
In 2008, IFCO celebrates 25 years of producing container seedlings commercially. IFCO is the most experienced producer of container seedlings in the Southeastern U. S. with over 250 million seedlings being produced over this time period. IFCO continues to operate a state of the art facility at Moultrie, GA.
International Forest Company, based in Moultrie, Georgia, is the largest independent producer of container tree seedlings for reforestation in the Southeastern United States. Specializing in longleaf, loblolly, shortleaf and slash pine seedlings IFCO grows a number of containerized hardwoods, such as-sawtooth oak, cherrybark oak, nuttall oak, swamp chestnut oak, swamp laurel oak, shumard oak, northern red oak to name a few. We also grow several species for wildlife habitat such as persimmon, crabapple, Chickasaw plum, red mulberry and pear.
In addition to its seedling nursery operations, IFCO produces and markets tree seed throughout much of the world. Seed is available from genetically improved seed orchards throughout the Southeast U. S.
IFCO’s introduction of the “Super Root” ® container was very successful. This exclusive container was used to grow over 8 million high quality seedlings in 2007. Production will increase to over 13 million in 2008.
The introduction of “Super Gain” Loblolly seedlings was a big hit with customers. We were sold out very early in 2007 and we are expecting to increase production in 2008.
CellFor Company has partnered with IFCO to produce their varietal seedlings for the next several years. This technology is the state of the art for genetics and field results are looking outstanding. Order early to be able to try these seedlings.
