Oak shelterwood: The basics of a new system used to naturally regenerate oak

A new system for naturally regenerating oak tree has been developed by researchers in the South by refining the oak shelterwood system. The new method employs oak of at least 2-3 feet for some fast-growing species such as cherrybark oak and more than 4 feet tall for upland species. Advance regeneration of such a size quickly is overgrown by a wide range of competing species.
