- Abstract:
- The tree reproduction now present on the tract which prior to September 21, 1938 supported an essentially virgin stand of white pine is mostly hardwood and hemlock. Very little white pine reproduction is coming in. Most of the hardwoods on the area evidently were present as advance growth under the old pine stand. Some species, e.g. white birch, black birch, yellow birch and fire cherry have undoubtedly come in since the stand was destroyed by the hurricane.
