166 Training Manual for Applied Agroforestry Practices – 2015 Edition

In this chapter:• Identifying the Proper Trees and/

or Shrubs• Design and Management• Tree and Shrub Recommenda-

tions• Selection Table

The Center for Agroforestry is conducting research on Chinese chestnuts as a tree for profitable agroforestry plantings.

Agroforestry combines trees, shrubs, forages, grasses, livestock and crops in innovative, flex-ible combinations tailored to the landowner’s needs. However, it is the trees and shrubs that are the foundation of any of the agroforestry practices. They occupy land for many years, taking longer to produce marketable crops than other agricultural crops and, thus, require careful thought before planting and long-term care. Yet, through deliberate integration with farm practices, long lasting production and conservation benefits can occur simultane-ously.

What Makes a Tree Appropriate for Agroforestry? The answer is not always the same for any given situation, and will likely vary according to each landowner’s specific interest. That said, many trees and shrubs can be planted in con-figurations and/or densities that will enable them to meet several objectives.

The following pages may be used as a general reference and guide for the selection of appro-priate trees and/or shrubs.

Identifying the proper trees and shrubs

When selecting a tree species, begin by matching the species with the site. The se-lected species should be capable of providing the products and services desired by the land-owner. Depending on the practice selected, other considerations might include:• Suited to the soil and site conditions• Species compatibility trees should be com-

patible with the companion crop• High value• Fast growing or of such high value that a

slower growth rate is acceptable• Deep-rooted so the trees do not compete

with companion crops for moisture• Drought-tolerant or capable of growing on

a wet site• Produce a light rather than a heavy shade.• What species already exist on the site?• Marketability - What products (nuts, wood,

etc.) do you want to market? Do marketsexist?

Appendix Section 2: Trees and Shrubs for Agroforestry

167 University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry

Tree and Shrub RecommendationsFollowing is a table of tree and shrub species suitable for agroforestry practices in Missouri. Included in the table are recommended re-gions, agroforestry application, potential mar-kets, typical site (upland or bottomland), soil moisture requirements, growth rate, height, light preference, and additional notes for each species. Trees and shrubs are listed in alpha-betical order by common name.

This list is not exhaustive, but rather a starting point. All species listed for a given region may not be suited to all sites in that region. Species not generally recommended for a given region may have application on individual sites. For more specific information on trees and shrubs for a particular site, contact the area Missouri Department of Conservation Forester or Pri-vate Lands Specialist.

Mark Coggeshall, UMCA Tree Improvement Specialist, works to produce control pollinated seeds from eastern black wal-nut trees he is growing on a trellis system.

In addition to the table, a series of crop sheets have been developed that contain a short de-scription of each species, its habitat, manage-ment and harvesting considerations, methods of propagation and economic uses.


Design and Management of Trees and Shrubs for Agroforestry

Planting design and management of an agroforestry practice depends on existing site conditions and the goals of the landowner (you may also refer to the section on each specific practice for more information on design considerations). Trees can be planted in single or multiple rows, on contours or in groups. Consider the products you wish to produce, any conservation or wildlife benefits de-sired, on-farm equipment and the needs of companion crops when planning the planting design.

As trees require some maintenance, management requirements may influence the planting design. Some important management considerations are:

Weed control - most important in a young trees life Fertilization - depends on species selected and production objectivesPruning - a must for timber production and recommended for nut productionThinning - timely thinnings are critical to maintaining tree growthGrafting - recommended for nut production, yet limit the number of trees requiring

grafting in any given year.

• Weed control can reduce competition for moisture, nutrients and, in some cases, for light. Op-tions for weed control include the use of herbicides, mulches (including living mulches such asmany clovers, and fabric mulches) and cultivation. To gain the best growth from newly estab-lished trees, weed control should be maintained for a minimum of 3 years, and often for asmany as 5 years.

• Timely fertilization may be necessary for high-yielding fruit and nut production. In fruit and nutproduction, having certain nutrients available to the tree at the appropriate time of year is oftenessential for flower and nut set. For timber production, the cost of fertilization is usually notrecovered over the time it takes for a timber tree to reach maturity.

• Pruning allows room for equipment to pass below the branches and can be used to promotethe production of desired products such as timber. Pruning is also a useful tool in managementof fruit and nut trees. Through proper pruning, the shape of the crown and its density can bemanaged to facilitate and improve a trees productivity.

• Timely thinnings promote good tree growth by reducing competition for water, light and nutri-ents. As trees mature they grow to occupy more of the space where they are being managed.As crowns of adjacent trees begin to touch or overlap, this is also a general indicator that theirroot systems are overlapping. When trees touch or overlap, competition for light, moisture andnutrients between adjacent trees may become a factor limiting tree growth. At this point, thin-ning can be beneficial.

• Grafting primarily applies to fruit and nut production. By grafting scion wood to a tree you areassured that the fruit or nut produced has the potential to exhibit the exact same characteristicsas the adult tree from which the scion came. However, this does not always occur, since mois-ture, nutrients and management also play a significant role in fruit and nut development. Yet,it is the best way to ensure success. Spread planting over several years to limit the number oftrees that will require grafting in a single year.
