Low quality, upland mixed broadleaved/pine stands in the Upper Piedmont of Georgia were whole-tree harvested to 1-inch or 4-inch diameter limits in January or June 1980. Broadleaved coppice shoots and natural pine regeneration (Pinus taeda, jP. echinata) were observed in October 1981 and April 1982 respectively. Early pine establishment was very good following 1-inch winter harvest (7709 pine stems/acre), acceptable after 4-inch winter harvest (1829 stems/acre) and very poor after summer harvest (17-34 stems/acre). The treatment producing the best pine regeneration also produced the greatest number of braodleaved shoots. 12 references.
