An added bonus for thinning a timber stand is the fact that if you choose to select cut some of the timber, the revenues can be reinvested into the property.

3 Reasons to Plant Trees in the Fall

It’s now possible to plant trees with success any time of the year. Generally speaking, the traditional planting time for folks in the South is February through mid-March, and folks up North have to wait for the ground to thaw in the spring.

That’s a great time to fertilize, because the plants are either about to grow or are making their big spring time flush of growth, and need the extra energy. It’s also cooler and raining frequently, which can help get nitrogen to the plant roots before it vapes off into the atmosphere.
