[QUOTE="Boll Weevil, post: 5800908, member: 10006"] It's a little hard to tell from the pics because I can't look up and see the canopy and whether there's enough sunlight getting to the forest floor. The only way planted pine is gonna thrive is with sunlight…which is one reason they are so often set out after a clearcut. If you picked through it to open up holes in the canopy to plant a few pines the crop trees you leave will be the real benefactors; their crowns will just expand and re-close the canopy. It looks like a good stand of young hardwood…if it were me I'd just do a crop tree release and let it go. Maybe something like this; keep those marked and cut or kill everything else. We’ve done this on hundreds of acres over the years and you won’t find a better hardwood stand anywhere. High value species, tall, great form, well spaced…just puttin on girth.
