Abstract

In a nine-county area, epicormic branches were found on the second log of 72 percent of the saw-log size hardwoods. Branching was most frequent in stands with basal areas below 75 square feet per acre; for the most common species it was inversely related to the product of tree d.b.h. and stand basal area.
