At his point it is mute to define what really TATF says.
Over the last years all has proven to be a big pile of BS.
For what is worth, I received a different answer.
When I asked, the answer was: "those trees were already thinned last season, what you get is all good 13 year olds".

Tropical American Tree Farms is similar to the hundreds of other Teak plantation investments tricks, that are turning to be well- crafted con-jobs on people who give them money.
