Planting Large Black Walnut Seedlings on Cultivated Sites

Black walnut planting stock studies have shown that large seedlings survive and grow better than small ones on cleared forest sites and strip mined banks when competition is not controlled (Williams 1965). When intensive site preparation and clean cultivation were recommended for black walnut plantations (Clark 1966), some foresters theorized that smaller seedlings could be used on these sites. However, 2-year results from a study in which different sizes of black walnut seedlings were planted on a plowed site and cultivated as required after planting show that large seedlings are preferable for these sites also.
