- Abstract:
- Norway Spruce, Picea Abies (Linnaeus) Karsten, was one of the first species to be used in forest plantations in the northeastern United States. As early as 1860 small areas were planted with stock imported from Europe. Although the species has come into general use, there seems to be a prejudice against it. Some think it will die before maturing; and the general feeling is that it is an unknown quantity. So, in 1926, the present study was undertaken to determine how the plantings, and especially the older ones, had developed. Fifty-seven plantations between the ages of seven and seventy years were studied in the states of Massachnsetts, Vermont, Connecticut, and New York.
