Black Walnut Management

<<< prev      Contents      next >>> Cut down or deaden surrounding trees to provide at least 5 feet of clear space around three-fourths of the walnut's crown. If surrounding trees are taller than the crop tree, remove them to create at least 10 feet of clear space around three-fourths of the walnut's crown. Then find another crop tree and release it in the same manner. Do not over-thin a stand. Heavy thinning may stimulate sprouts to grow out of tree stems. <<< prev      Contents      next >>>
