Technical Bulletins
A study was made of the potential of weed trees and shrubs, called "puckerbrush," native to the state of Maine as a source of fiber for the paper industry. Six species—gray birch, red maple, pin cherry, aspen, alder, and willow—were used in the study. All components of each species were studied separately, including stemwood, branches, roots, and stump. In addition, two mixtures of components of each species were studied: Composite 1, a representative mixture of stem, branches, roots and stump, and Composite 2, a mixture of stem and branches.

Technical Bulletins
The purpose of this study was to make an estimate of the average ring fibril angle within the stem of 48-year old plantation-grown red pine (Pinus resinosa, Ait.). It was also conducted to determine the degreed relationship between this estimated average ring fibril angle and various factors such as position in the tree, latewood percent, specific gravity, and growth rate.
