Abstract

Should loblolly pine seed trees be left to grow for many years, or should they be harvested as soon as adequate amounts of reproduction have started? What should be done with the trees too small for sawlogs: should they be cut for pulpwood, or will they develop into high-quality stems? From a study started in 1951 and previously described (4) we now have indicative answers to these questions for old-field loblolly stands on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
