Black Walnut Management

<<< prev      Contents      next >>> When trees are spaced close together, their stems grow straight and their lower limbs become shaded, die, and fall off, creating a clear stem. Dense stands need to be thinned, however, to maintain diameter growth. Thinning also lets you remove undesirable tree species and poorly formed trees, providing more growing space to trees with greater potential value. Start thinning when crowns slightly overlap and continue at roughly 10-year intervals. <<< prev      Contents      next >>>
