Black Walnut Management

<<< prev      Contents      next >>> Corrective pruning on seedlings and saplings encourages straight stems, but do this only on potential crop trees. Many trees will straighten on their own and others will be removed during thinnings. Bend the dominant shoot so its tip is over the central axis of the main stem. Hold it in place by bending another shoot or two close to the dominant shoot and fastening the shoots together with three wraps of 1-inch masking tape. <<< prev      Contents      next >>>
