 aged 80 feet in height. As shown by figure 10, a 

 greater proportion of longleaf and slash pine is on 

 higher quality sites in southwest than in southeast 

 Georgia. Hardwood and cypress sites were graded 



into three general quality classes on the basis of tree 

 form and clear length. These were distributed in 

 roughly the same proportions in each of the two 

 survey units here discussed, and are shown as one 

 in fisrure 1 1 .
