- Abstract:
- At first sight, a red pine plantation in this part of the country gives a rather strong impression to an European Forester. He is accustomed to see in a scotch pine stand at the age of 40 years about 1133 stems per acre with an average diameter of approximately 5". He knows, that he would obtain trees with very coarse branches, impossible to sell as a good sawtimber, if he would plant scotch pine with a spacing of 6' x 6'. Now in face of such a red pine stand he has to change his opinion. This impression mentioned above induced me to make a survey of one of the oldest red pine stand in Prospect Hill, 19B in Compartment II, to be able to compare the result with a German yield table of Pinus silvestris (by Wiedemann 1948, pin.silvestris, medium thinning).
