There are more factors that play into what grows after a burn than just “time of year”. I’m not a professional at all, but I think the density of the pines, time of year, temp of fire, and fire frequency all play a part in if you get forbes or NWSGs. From my understanding, if you burn every 1-2 years you will get NWSGs, every 3-4 years for forbes. But as Matt would say… I think this is very site specific as well.
