Rowan Reid will present a 90min Zoom presentation on the silviculture (pruning and thinning) of trees for high quality timber.
3pm Saturday 14th August 2021 via Zoom
(Eastern Australian time zone)
Topics include:
- why prune and the impact on wood quality and log value
- the biology of pruning and thinning
- when and how to prune for high quality timber
- thinning to promote diameter growth
- how much space each species needs and how to measure it
