With longer growing seasons my trees are growing more each year. In the 1980s I estimated 7-9%, now 11-13%. I attribute this to the leaves forming in early March instead of mid to late April, and still growing the same until mid July.

Do trees compare favorably to CO2 capture technology? There are faster growing species of trees too. You don't need a $336 million CO2 Capture Plant to grow 5,000 acres of trees.
