Introduction of black walnut and northern red oak seedlings in an upland hardwood forest in southeastern Ohio

Abstract

Black walnut and northern red oak seedlings were planted on a clearcut area in 1964. Three cultural treatments were applied to seedlings to control competing trees. Average height and survival were analyzed 13 growing seasons after planting. Results indicated that black walnut seedlings can be effectively established on good sites if cultural treatments are applied. Red oak seedlings are difficult to establish, regardless of treatment or site.
