Black Walnut Plantation (IL)

From: Toby Lander City: Durand, IL
We have about 600 trees planted early 70's. Based on age could any of these be ready for harvest? Thanks Toby Lander

Greetings Toby: Depending on certain factors -- namely site, soils, maintenance, intermediate stand management, planting stock, etc. -- you certainly could have some merchantable black walnut trees after 35+ years of growth. Obviously, you should contact a local professional forester for an on-site evaluation with regard to this walnut plantation. http://web.extension.illinois.edu/forestry/forest_mgmt/professional_assistance.html
