Abstract

In 1982 a black walnut (Juglans nigra) plantation was partly established by planting 200 1-0 seedlings on the first bench adjacent to Copper Creek near its mouth draining into the Clinch River, Scott County, Virginia. In the following years, 50-500 1-0 black walnut seedlings, supplemented by transplanting germinated nuts in failed spots, were planted on the first and second benches until a total of approximately 1600 were established through 1990.
