Аннотация: Crown stem measurements were taken periodically on selected trees in plantations of red pine (PINUS RESINOSA AIT.) over the period 17 to 37 years from seed. Spacings were 5x5, 7x7, 10x10, and 14x14 feet; some of these represented the original planting interval and others had been achieved by mechanical thinning at the start of the experiment. Little mortality occurred during the 20 years, and individual crown size tended to stabilize, with smaller crowns occurring with closer spacings. Periodic volume growth per acre was strongly correlated with average foliage weight for the period. Thinning was followed by an immediate but temporary increase in foliage ranged from 0.023 to 0.038 cubic feet. Crown length, width, and weight, once stabilized, did not show good correlation with parameters of individual stem growth which are cumulative. Height to crown continued to increase and was strongly correlated with total volume per acre and with the ratio average height average spacing. Breast-height growth of sample trees appeared to be a function of height to crown and foliage weight.
