202 TREE WOUNDS AND DISEASES 



1 . Never replant the site of a pine plantation 

 with trees of a similar species. Hardwoods 

 are preferable. 



2. Keep the plantations and individual 

 trees clear of dead and dying wood. 



3. Tree wounds, however caused, should 

 receive early and careful attention in the way 

 of dressing and painting with tar. 



4. Bracing tree stems and supporting heavy 

 and diseased branches are operations that, on 

 certain trees, should receive prompt and care- 

 ful attention.
