[QUOTE="MickThompson, post: 4380412, member: 3172"] This is part of what I was getting at with site- some places, like a dry ridgetop, will grow oak easier than others. North facing slopes are much better poplar sites, and I would manage for poplar instead of oak there. You will still get a thicker understory by removing overtopped stems, undesirable species, trees with cat faces, butt rot, crown damage and dieback, etc. Keep in mind where you are killing trees, as they will fall down eventually, and can cause damage or injury when they do. Do you have a forest management plan or a wildlife habitat plan? Either would help you know what to do, and when, where, how, and how much is enough. Both are free through TDF andTWRA, respectively.
