in size. Trees on 0.3 were similar in trunk cross-sectional 

 area and spread to those on M.26 EMLA and those on M.9/ 

 A. 2 but were significantly shorter than those on M.26 

 EMLA. The smallest trees in the planting were on Mark. 

 Projected planting densities presented in Table 1 were based 



partially on tree spread and on visual observation of the 

 canopy developement and vigor and represent a "best guess" 

 of the optimal density for these trees at the site on which 

 they where grown. 



Trees on M.7 EMLA yielded the most per tree cumu-
