Unfortunately, this is typical of TATF.

There's no mention on their website that they've stopped thinning trees, or that they're not allowing tree owners to visit their trees, even though items 4 and 21 of their tree order form state:

'As your trees grow, it is silviculturally recommended to periodically remove some of your trees in thinning harvests to make room for the continued growth of your remaining trees.'

and

'As an owner of trees in our plantation, you or anyone you may designate have the right to inspect your trees at any reasonable time.'

Most of TATF's updates to their website have been in the form of new, 'very special opportunity, for a limited time' offers to sell trees at a 'discount', just like the latest offer. Meaningful updates for existing tree owners are few and far between, and the information about our investment we have been able to glean has been uniformly bad.
