Right Tree, Right Place, Right Time

Right Tree, Right Place, Right Time

Season 2 | Episode 4 | April 15, 2021

There may be nothing more satisfying than planting a tree. Artificial regeneration of hardwoods in particular however can be a challenge. Trees are lost due to everything from improper planting to interfering vegetation to deer browse. How do foresters maximize their success at not only having trees survive, but at long-term establishment and growth? In this episode of SilviCast we explore the challenges of artificial regeneration of hardwoods with Doug Jacobs, the Fred M. van Eck Professor of Forest Biology and Associate Head of Extension at Purdue University and a principle scientist at the Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center.
