Abstract

Preliminary curves for estimating crown and tree weight are given for madrone, black oak, and tanoak. These curves complement previously published slash weight tables for westside Sierra Nevada mixed conifers. Tanoak crowns in trees 12 to 20 inches d.b.h. were two to three times heavier than black oak and madrone crowns.
