Thinning the ash tree

Young ash plants do not transplant from the first winter. If they are too tight, thin out the seedlings sown in the nursery.

When to thin ash?

If you do not want to recover the removed plants, the thinning of the young ash trees can take place as early as the summer following sowing, so that the remaining plants can grow properly.
If you wish to recover the plans removed for transplanting them in the ground or in pots, wait until the first winter to carry out the thinning.

How to thin ash?

If the removed plants are not to be collected, cut them below the collar with an asparagus picker. This prevents damage to neighboring plants.
If they must be recovered, take a spade, lift the earth and pull on the plants to be removed, without injuring the others.
