Purdue’s Harrold Woodland property in Whitley County has a large acreage of 30-year-old mixed hardwood plantations. A recent tour there, hosted by Purdue Forestry and Natural Resources, Purdue Extension, Indiana Walnut Council and Indiana Forestry & Woodland Owners Association, allowed 44 landowners to discuss mid-rotation management practices of pruning, thinning, and crop tree release with Purdue forester Don Carlson.
