Forrest Keeling's superior plant stock offers exceptional survivability in wetland plantings.

Successful wetland and reforestation projects must secure and use the best, site-specific planting stock available to help each project achieve its goals. Because most of these projects get little or no attention after planting, Forrest Keeling developed the "Walk-A-Way" system that increases plant survival rates to over 95%!

• Ground preparation: plowing, disking and creation of berms (June to July)
• Cover crop establishment: (August to September)
• Tree establishment: (October to December)
• Mat placement: (weed barrier and moisture retainer) and fertilization (April to May)

RPM®'s accelerated plant growth of three to five feet the first year extends plant growth beyond easy reach of browsing deer, floodwaters, and sunlight competition. And instead of taking 20 years* to produce acorns, species like Forrest Keeling's RPM® white oak will fruit in the fourth year! Earlier fruit means more wildlife food and a much better chance that the trees will reproduce themselves. Government entities, conservation groups, private landowners and others continue to prove that RPM® trees meet and surpass all criteria. Check our Availability of plants.
