With dense planting of that sort you will thin (and get some natural thinning) so that your final crop will be much lower, usually 300-1000 stems/ha compared to 5000+.
- hinkley 6y agoThese trees were already 8+-10 inches in diameter. Wouldn’t you normally do the thinning much sooner?
- quixoticelixer- 6y agoAt about that time, although at 5000 stems/ha that's a lot of trees that big.
- hinkley 6y agoAll I can figure is, I know that there's a tree harvesting device that picks the trunk up vertically and cuts it to lengths before dropping it. Maybe there's a model that's twice as wide as the distance between the rows, and they're going to take out every second row and every other tree. But then it's driving over trunks and leaving an awful lot of logs on the ground behind it...
