Stand
conditions: This hardwood stand occupies a moist cove in Patrick
County Virginia. The species mix of yellow-poplar and northern red oak
suggest a moist and rich site. A tree core was not taken to determine age,
but the
presence of 15 inch yellow-poplar
suggests
a stand
age of around
40 (or maybe a little less),
with
relatively
rapid growth. As white oak grows much more slowly than yellow-poplar,
the presence of a 15
inch
diameter
white oak suggests a stand of mixed age. Many woodlots are of mixed ages
because woodlot trees tend to be used as need arises. The goal here is
to make some room for the trees with the greatest potential for economic return,
the crop trees. Which trees would you select as crop trees?
Age: Mixed
Trees per acre: 279
Total value per acre: $3892 *
- Sawtimber: 10,000 board feet = $3571
- Pulpwood: 18 cords = $321

* Growth data represented here is based on one prism point
sample within the harvested stand. Monetary data is based on 2003 dollars and
timber values. Actual payments to landowners are generally 50% of gross payments,
but vary widely with distance to mills, terrain, harvest size, etc.
