From the text ... 'The forester is also correct in prescribing a denser stand of 600+ trees per acre to ensure a well-stocked stand that will reach canopy closure sooner and begin naturally pruning some of the lower branches at an early age. The higher density of quality trees also provides for increased income from timber harvest.' © 2012 Alabama Forestry Commission.
