378 SYLVICULTURAL NOTES ON TIMBER TREES 



It is not a very good tree to transplant ; and hence trans- 

 planting should be done very late in the spring. 



The tree begins to grow fairly rapidly when about 10 

 years old ; and, when grown closely, will form a clean, straight 

 bole free from branches for about 50 feet in height. 



On account of its demands for summer heat, it should 

 only be grown in the south of England. 



There is, however, a risk that the home-grown timber will 

 not sell well, though it be of excellent quality. 



The expensive " Tulip " wood, used for veneers, is not the 

 timber of this tree.
