Research Report No. 31, Observed Growth Rates Of Loblolly And Slash Pine Plantations In East Texas, H. Alexis Ross, J. David Lenhart
Informal Project Reports
Of the approximately 11.2 million acres of forest in East Texas, about 2.5 million acres have been planted with loblolly pine trees ( Pinus taeda L. ) and 500,000 acres with slash pine trees ( Pinus elliottii Engelm. ). These plantations are owned by public, industrial and non-industrial private entities with industrial ownership dominating. Even though most pine plantations in East Texas are relatively young (20 years or less), plantation information is needed for management decision-making.
