162 TENDING OF YOUNG HIGH FOREST, ETC. 



Corsican and Austrian Pine will be about the same, 

 though they grow very much quicker for the first 30 years ; 

 but during this period they require rather a greater relative 

 density. Weymouth Pine will also be similar, though its 

 height growth is finally greater than Scots Pine. 



DOUGLAS FIR. 



Close-Canopied High Forest. Very good soil and situation. 

 Quality I. 



* A rotation of 75 years will prove more profitable if the same price per foot 

 can be obtained for the timber as will be realised at a later date. 



Note. The above table for Douglas Fir is based upon careful 

 estimates made as to its rate of growth both in this country and its 

 native country. In this country there are, however, no plantations old 

 enough to verify the later stages of the above table.
