Abstract

Although sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.) is one of the most valuable hardwoods in bottomland forests from southern New Jersey and southern Illinois southward, relatively little is known about its production and distribution of seed. Knowledge of both is essential in planning successful measures for reproducing the species. To provide some of the needed information, the Northeastern Forest Experiment Station studied the production and distribution of sweetgum seed in 1962 from four New Jersey stands.
