Simple thinning plan turns Plymouth county woodland to pine land
Nathaniel Norton of Plymouth County Mass. transformed 50 acres of mixed white pine and sprout oak by removing shade trees, allowing pines to thrive. After seven years timber bulk doubled, with systematic pruning from five feet height and close limb cuts to promote fast healing. Growth in pines 10 to 25 years old averages about 100 percent annually, and foreign growth removed paid for via wood value with about $50 annual bush mowing.
