THE ASHES : THEIE CHARACTERISTICS AND MANAGEMENT.

GREEN ASH. 



Tables 10, 11, and 12 show the rate of growth of green ash on 

 bottom lands of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Arkansas to be 

 very rapid and well sustained. The North Carolina table shows 

 slower diameter growth than the South Carolina and Arkansas 

 tables, because the stand where the measurements were taken was a 

 very dense, even-aged, unthinned young stand ; the growth in height, 

 however, was rapid enough.
