Fig. 1 8. Coppice with standards. 



I. A sprout stand 25 years of age, which it is desired to manage on the coppice with 

 standards' method; the rotation for coppice to be 25 years and that for standards 

 any multiple of 25 years. The stand is marked for the reproduction cutting, 

 everything being taken except a few selected standards (trees nos. 2, 7, 16, 21 and 

 25), which are either of seedling origin or are thrifty sprouts. 

 II. Same stand immediately after the cutting, showing standards left. 



III. Same stand 25 years later. A second crop of coppice is ready to cut and the stand- 



ards are 50 years old. The cutting will take all the coppice except selected stand- 

 ards. All the standards of the older age class which are unhealthy, like no. 21, or 

 where standing too thickly, are removed. 



IV. Same stand immediately after the cutting. Two age classes of standards are left: 



trees nos. 7, 16 and 25 of the so-year class and nos. 36, 38, 43 and 50 of the younger 

 class.
