GROWTH OF WHITE AND CHESTNUT OAKS. 



The following extracts from Forest Service circulars contain in- 

 formation in regard to the growth of white and chestnut oaks, 

 based on measurements obtained, for the most part, in Tennessee. 

 They are reprinted here on account of the scientific and practical 

 value of the tables. 



WHITE OAK.* 



The most important feature of the growth of white oak, as well as the most 

 significant characteristic of the tree, is its inherent persistence. The growth of 

 white oak is comparatively slow. Young trees are often outstripped and sup- 

 pressed by other species. They will, however, grow slowly, but persistently, for 

 many years under adverse conditions. 



In white oak the duration of vigorous growth is greater than in any of its 

 associates except yellow poplar and possibly chestnut. It retains its vigor and 

 resistent qualities to an advanced age. For these reasons white oak in the long
