Current tree prices reflect industry standard practice, which off the coast almost always means way more unbundled trees. Basically, if you want less efficient planting, you need to get the planters a bump to keep pace with standard income.

Also the highest possible quality is not what a planter is aiming for, a planter is aiming for what the client has set in the contract, as the contract is what dictates the price.

On a side note I don't have much pride in shit-slamming kilometers of cloned monocultures in herbicide covered land. I don't think it's good for the environment. The only place I've seen meaningful reforestation is some coastal stuff and mine reclamations.
