Trees

Trees for Woodchips

Each tree grown is unique. To obtain the mass, wood, and woodchips, ten trees were cut and averaged.

If you have limited space, then the most important consideration is litres per tree.

If you have unlimited space, the most important consideration is litres per dollar.

The litres per ton is interesting, but not very useful.

The test was done without trimming the trees. The entire tree was cut with a chainsaw and then fed into the chipper.

Trees for Lumber

The log length is most important

Tree Growth Progression

Planting Saplings

Trees had dormant sapling stages for 4 to 24 months, followed by 2 to 5 stages of growth

Note that the Tilla Amurensis SHRANK after 48 months

Also note, that I don't know if the starting month makes any difference. My tests were started with September plantings, and that's what shows.
