The purpose of timber stand improvement, or TSI, is to free desirable trees from competition, thin the trees to desirable numbers, and remove the poorer quality trees. This improves the overall condition of the stand and concentrates growth on selected trees.  TSI also improves wildlife food and habitat and the appearance and health of a woodlot.  TSI increases hard mast production (acorns, hickory nuts, etc.) by giving healthy trees plenty of room to have large crowns. TSI increases ground layer vegetation, therefore increasing browse options and cover for wildlife. Flowering plants also bring in insects, which are critical turkey and songbird food, and then go to seed, providing an additional food source. 

Crop treee management is a simple, efficient, and effective way to apply forest stand improvement, especially in Eastern Hardwoods (oak, hickory, etc.) and Bottomland Hardwoods (elm, ash, cottonwood, silver maple,  red maple, etc.).  A crop tree is any tree that has  been identified as desirable and worth retaining.   Crop trees may have value for such purposes as  wildlife habitat, visual quality, water quality,  timber, or a combination of two or more  purposes.  Crop tree management is the selective  removal of less desirable trees that compete with  crop trees.
