Informal Project Reports

One of two planted loblolly pine trees (Pinus taeda L.) and over one of three (36%) planted slash pine trees (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) on non-old-fields in East Texas have a poor quality stem. For both species, o poor quality stem is three times more likely to occur on trees with crowns in the upper canopy then in the lower canopy.
