THE FIRST TWO to five years of a newly regenerated stand is critically
important. It is crucial that a new trees have room to grow--free from
competition from weeds, grasses or other undesirable trees.
THE FIRST STEP of producing a new timbered stand is the Site Preparation.
Typically, this involves the application of herbicides aerially by
helicopter, but can involve spraying with tractors, skidders or even
4-wheelers.
Normally, a tract will lay "fallow" for one year, allowing weeds and
undesirable species to sprout, so the herbicide can be most effective. On
many sites, a spray which controls hardwood competition (some herbicide
prescriptions come with three-year guarantees) will suffice, so long as a
good burn can be performed afterward to control any pine regeneration.
On other tracts with high residual or natural pine regeneration present,
or on tracts where a burn is not possible, a "hotter" herbicide spray is
necessary (and more expensive).
CHESNUT FORESTRY tries to get all tracts to spray and replant set up by
the end of June. That gives Tim time to visit the tracts with the herbicide
representative, in order to come up with the correct and guaranteed
prescription, create maps, and get the spraying job lined up.
Spraying typically takes place in August through September, and Tim will
be with the spray crew the whole time.
The first step is to get the proper Herbicide Prescription for the tract, and
a combination of several different herbicides may be necessary to achieve
desired results.
The property is usually sprayed with a Helicopter. Smaller Tracts and
pastures can be sprayed with a 4-Wheeler.
After the spraying, a site prep burn can be done.
Then, the planting can be done!!!
