Category 7 Silviculture treatments promote tree quality and
manage for multiple age classes. These treatments include crop
tree release, crop tree pruning and selection management. Crop
tree release and crop tree pruning are used to increase the
quality and value of individual trees. Selection management is
used to create and maintain uneven-aged forest
conditions, enhance tree growth, and encourage natural
regeneration of shade-tolerant, long-lived species.
