Treesflourish 15 vears later at farm

I wasrecently looking throughoid issuesof WOOD@magazine, and

read about Kevin I$hl, the Parkersburg,Iowa, farmer who was

planting treeson his 280-acrefarm (issue42, April1991).I'm

wonderinghow big thosetreesaretoday, andif he'sstill planting?

-Bobert Ellis,Columbia,

Ky.

Someof the treesKevin beganplanting in 1986,Robert,are just

beginningto reach4-6" indiameter. Although he cutssomeof those

for thinning purposes,mostof the hardwood treeswill take40-50

years to mature, a gift for the next generation. Until then he continues

to convertmore acresto forest. "There is real satisfactionin seeingthe

land changefrom cattlepasture backto forests,"Kevin saidwhen we

caughtup with him.

In the meantime, small nurserytreesprovidehis bestcashcrop: He

sellshardwoodsfor shadetreesandconifersfor windbreakplantings.

"It's beenfun," he said."You definitely don't makemuchmoney doing

this. You have to loveit." Kevin estimateshe'splanted125,000

seedlingson the farm. He alsoseeded12 acresinlggg with a mixture

of ash,oak, walnut, andsycamoreseeds(28,000per acre), which have

grown into a denseforestof 5-8'trees andundergrowth. Thosesheer

numbers helpward off animalsthateatseedling leavesandkill the

tree. Plantingthousandsof seedsper acre,rather than the 700

seedlings per acrerecommendedby foresters, alsohelpstreesgrow

straighterdue to crowding

For anyoneinterestedin following his lead, Kevin recommends

Kevin Kyhl (riding in tree planter) and friends plant seedlingson

Kyhf 's tarm, top, in 1991.Today,those seedlingshave grown into

trees 30-40'tall, as shown above,from the same vantage point.
