Of Georgia’s 37 million acres of land area, 24.8 million acres (two thirds) is forest land. Of this 24.8 million acres, 24.4 million acres is timberland available for commercial use - more than any other state in the nation
It is sad that you can't have a decent post without this ignorance. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.
How is it ignorant? He asked what I associate the south with so I told him. The only reason you're mad is because I said rednecks. I will be the first to admit that upstate NY has rednecks too. What's your problem?

No, he did NOT ask what you associate with the south.
Reread the OP. It's ALL about trees. The question asked about forests, and you chose to go off topic.
I was actually shocked moving down to SC and seeing so many forests. OP is correct in asking such a question. Heck, my father, who lived in NY all of his life kept telling me, "you can't get a real Christmas tree down there". Heck, there are more pines here than there were in NY!

Go to North Carolina and pick up a Fraser Fir: one of the loveliest Christmas Trees on the planet.

We were always into Balsam firs because the smell was nice and they had the softest needles. Problem is there are so few of them and they go fast. We've been getting Fraser's or Douglas usually. They smell okay as long as there is a fresh cut and I don't forget to water!
Definitely tons of local Christmas tree stands though.
I associate pretty much everything East of the Mississippi River as being more forested. It's not something that's endemic or special to the south. The Upper Midwest, PA and New England tend to be every bit as densely vegetated.
