Crop tree release is one aspect of Timber Stand Improvement that is rarely talked about. Rob gives some very good insight on what crop tree release is, and how you can perform it on your property to improve your timber.

I’m guessing you speaking about property that was just allowed to regenerate naturally rather than replanted.

A suggestion - you've provided a wonderful and informative video where the spoken word is sufficient and yet the production team choose to drown out what I can hear with...music? What possible purpose does that serve? I do wish the modern standard idea of using music in the "background" would fall by the wayside to allow the dialog to be heard and understood. For those of use who are hearing impaired and use headphones we can't....hear the forest for the trees with that background music.

Our apologies. We actually used the music in this particular video to cover up less than ideal audio. We had some audio equipment issue on this shoot and the audio was not quality, so we used music to help with that. Sorry if it affected your viewing.

I guess you're damned if you do and damned if you don't in this case. I appreciate the reply.

@@williamkoenig1586 You bet. And yes, it was an unexpected situation that we had to deal with on the fly. We will definitely keep your comment in mind going forward.
