LONGLEAF PINE

• 
SAW-TIMBER AND WOOD PRODUCTION 
Information regarding the approximate contents of individual 
trees of different sizes is often useful. The contents in board feet 
of saw timber from second-growth longleaf pine trees of different 
sizes are given in Table 7. Table 8 shows the contents of second- 
growth trees in cubic feet. The actual amount of lumber in logs from 
different parts of turpentined and unturpentined trees and the 
amount estimated according to the Doyle rule are given in Table 9.

pine trees growing in tvell-stocked stands in the Atlantic coastal plain from 
North Carolina to Texas. (Merchantable contents of trees scaled by the 
international log rule, allowing for y 8 inch saio kerf)
