Research Report No. 2, Tree Quality, J. David Lenhart, Ellis V. Hunt Jr. Dec 1985

Research Report No. 2, Tree Quality, J. David Lenhart, Ellis V. Hunt Jr.

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.


Research Report No. 3, Estimating Site Index, Jock A. Blackard Dec 1985

Research Report No. 3, Estimating Site Index, Jock A. Blackard

Informal Project Reports

Equi'.'ltions to predi ct site index (base age 25 years) for lotilolly pine (P1:1Jt1s toeo'o L.) and slE1sh pine (Pim1s elliatiii Engelrn.) pl6ntotions on non-old-fields in Eest Texfls are presented. Productivity is estimated using plantation age and avernge height of Urn ten tallest trees in the plflntotion. 1


Research Report No. 4, Predicting Individual Tree Height, Jock A. Blackard Dec 1985

Research Report No. 4, Predicting Individual Tree Height, Jock A. Blackard

Informal Project Reports

Equations to estimate individual total tree height of loblolly pine ( Pinus taeda L. ) and slash pine ( Pinus elliottii Engelm. ) trees Planted on non-old-fields in East Texas are presented.


Research Report No. 1, Fusiform Rust Occurrence, Ellis V. Hunt, J. David Lenhart Nov 1985

Research Report No. 1, Fusiform Rust Occurrence, Ellis V. Hunt, J. David Lenhart

Informal Project Reports

Fusiform rust ( Cronartium quercuum (Berk.) Miyabe ex Shirai f. sp. fusiforme) infection occurs on 57% of planted slash pine ( Pinus elliottii Engelm. ) and on 11 % of planted loblolly pine ( Pinus laeda l.) trees on non-old-fields in East Texas. Future utilization of these planted pines may be affected by the rust infection rates.
