Simple thinning turns Plymouth pines into productive timber
Nathaniel Norton of Plymouth County Massachusetts pioneered a practical woodland plan by removing competing oaks to favor pines, trimming lower branches starting at five feet, and healing limbs with close cuts. His 50 acre tract shows doubled timber bulk in seven years with pines reaching lumber size in about 33 years. The light sandy soil and 10 to 25 year old growth yielded 100 percent annual growth, and foreign species were cleared with total costs around fifty dollars for upkeep. Orange Judd Farmer.
