TABLE 28. Second Growth Yellow Poplar.a 



Total stem volume in cubic feet including bark, top, and stump, 

 Fairfax County, Va. 



For estimating peeled pulp wood the bark deduction is 21 per cent in 6-inch trees 

 and 16 per cent in 18-inch trees. The top and stump form from 18 per cent in 6-inch 

 trees to 10 per cent in 18-inch trees of the total volume. Hence, the total deduction 

 for peeled pulp wood for trees 10 to 18 inches may be placed at 25 to 30 per cent of 

 the volume given in the table.
