| Gardner, P.S. 1997 | Oak and hickory nuts are available in the fall, and have irregular peaks in production (mast), separated by a range of 1-4 years. Because masts are irregular, but fairly consistent in this irregularity, harvesters could plan to take advantage of peak masts. The largest masts occur when tree crowns are exposed to maximum sun--Native Americans could also have easily thinned trees to increase size and production of remaining trees. |
