Abstract

Yields of five hardwood species at age 5, planted at 10- by 10-foot spacing on Sharkey clay soil, were ranked cottonwood>sycamore>green ash>sweet-gum~Nuttall oak. By species, per acre volume of stemwood ranged from 29 to 446 cubic feet and total above-ground dry tree weight ranged from 1.08 to 7.68 tons.

Keywords
