-BSTR-CT

Two series of color photographs illustrate the variation in growth

habit of five maturity classes of pinyon pine (Pinus eduiis Engelm) and

Utah juniper trees (junipe1Us osteospelma (Torr) Little) from a variety of

sites across Northern -rizona Information provided with each photoshy

graph includes a cross-dated age and measures of height crown radius

and multiple diameters Three site quality levels allow the user to calishy

brate the guide to their site and account for microsite variation bull - pictoshy

rial summary of bark characteristics is presented for both species

This photographic guide provides an efficient way to estimate the

age of pinyon pine and juniper trees in the field for ecological restorashy

tion as well as general research ecology in pinyon-juniper ecosystems

throughout Northern -rizona and nearby regions

RESK-RCH SUiLL-RY

Research was conducted at three sites during Summer 2002 and

2003 - total of 377 tree cores were taken but only those that could be

cross-dated accurately were used -11 trees were measured for heigh t

and crown radius as an average of the longest and shortest side Diamshy

eter measurements of each stem were at root collar (DRC ground level)

stump height (DSH O4-meters high) and breast height (DBH 13-meters

high) Due to multiple stemming of trees especially J oJteOJpelma two

or more diameter measurements often hltld to be taken for DSH and

DBH Photographs of all trees were taken next to a 3-meter pole or a

metric loggers tape with smaller trees for visual reference In addition

a close-up plchlre of bark at DSH was taken of trees at the Mount

Trumbull site The oldest trees cross-dated in this study were a P

from 1675 and aJ osteospem1a from 1648

LYOUT OF PHOTOGR-PHIC GUIDE

The Photographic Guide is broken down by species beginning

with P eduiis and then maturity class by increasing age Both species

have a front page with a brief summary of bark characteristics ifatushy

rity class sections all begin with a main page showing a representative

tree and a range of general characteristics The maturity classes are

further divided into groups of similarly aged trees from low- mid- and

high-guality sites Seedling and Overmahlre classes have only one page

-vith all three guality levels displayed Sapling ifature Vigorous and

ifature Old classes have three pages of similarly aged trees from each of

the three quality levels- Six measurements are given With each tree phoshy

tograph DSH and DBH measurements can have an amp sign designatshy

ing two stems were measured for that tree or a - sign designating

three or more diameters with the low and high value shown

nate a specific tagged tree at Mount Trumbull In the upper corners of

maturity class pages icons and headings differentiate species and matushy

rity class for quick reference

USING THE PHOTOGILPHIC GUIDE

It is important to remember that P edulis and f osteosperma trees

have extremely variable physical manifestations The photographs in

this guide are used to present the physical form of the trees described

by the measured data However not every form could be shown at

every maturity class This Photographic GUide IS by no means a hard

and fast classification for these two species and should be used flexibly

That said here is one way the Photographic Guide could be useful

By conducting a pilot study In an area of interest a user could calibrate

the guide to their Site depending upon whether trees were consistent

with low- mid- and high-quality levels The user could also account for

mlcrosite variation by going up a level with trees in favorable growing

conditions or down a level with suppressed or damaged trees It is enshy

tirely possible that some sites may produce conditions higher than the

high-quality or lower than the low-quality areas presented here

For quick comparisons a summary table of the general ranges of

charactenstics is given on the back cover (Table 2 page 48) The main

ranges represent trees from a mid-quality site with low- and high-quality

sites corresponding with values in parentheses

Two series of color photographs illustrate the variation in growth

habit of five maturity classes of pinyon pine (Pinus eduiis Engelm) and

Utah juniper trees (junipe1Us osteospelma (Torr) Little) from a variety of

sites across Northern -rizona Information provided with each photoshy

graph includes a cross-dated age and measures of height crown radius

and multiple diameters Three site quality levels allow the user to calishy

brate the guide to their site and account for microsite variation bull - pictoshy

rial summary of bark characteristics is presented for both species

This photographic guide provides an efficient way to estimate the

age of pinyon pine and juniper trees in the field for ecological restorashy

tion as well as general research ecology in pinyon-juniper ecosystems

throughout Northern -rizona and nearby regions

RESK-RCH SUiLL-RY

Research was conducted at three sites during Summer 2002 and

2003 - total of 377 tree cores were taken but only those that could be

cross-dated accurately were used -11 trees were measured for heigh t

and crown radius as an average of the longest and shortest side Diamshy

eter measurements of each stem were at root collar (DRC ground level)

stump height (DSH O4-meters high) and breast height (DBH 13-meters

high) Due to multiple stemming of trees especially J oJteOJpelma two

or more diameter measurements often hltld to be taken for DSH and

DBH Photographs of all trees were taken next to a 3-meter pole or a

metric loggers tape with smaller trees for visual reference In addition

a close-up plchlre of bark at DSH was taken of trees at the Mount

Trumbull site The oldest trees cross-dated in this study were a P

from 1675 and aJ osteospem1a from 1648

LYOUT OF PHOTOGR-PHIC GUIDE

The Photographic Guide is broken down by species beginning

with P eduiis and then maturity class by increasing age Both species

have a front page with a brief summary of bark characteristics ifatushy

rity class sections all begin with a main page showing a representative

tree and a range of general characteristics The maturity classes are

further divided into groups of similarly aged trees from low- mid- and

high-guality sites Seedling and Overmahlre classes have only one page

-vith all three guality levels displayed Sapling ifature Vigorous and

ifature Old classes have three pages of similarly aged trees from each of

the three quality levels- Six measurements are given With each tree phoshy

tograph DSH and DBH measurements can have an amp sign designatshy

ing two stems were measured for that tree or a - sign designating

three or more diameters with the low and high value shown

USING THE PHOTOGILPHIC GUIDE

It is important to remember that P edulis and f osteosperma trees

have extremely variable physical manifestations The photographs in

this guide are used to present the physical form of the trees described

by the measured data However not every form could be shown at

every maturity class This Photographic GUide IS by no means a hard

and fast classification for these two species and should be used flexibly

That said here is one way the Photographic Guide could be useful

By conducting a pilot study In an area of interest a user could calibrate

the guide to their Site depending upon whether trees were consistent

with low- mid- and high-quality levels The user could also account for

mlcrosite variation by going up a level with trees in favorable growing

conditions or down a level with suppressed or damaged trees It is enshy

tirely possible that some sites may produce conditions higher than the

high-quality or lower than the low-quality areas presented here

For quick comparisons a summary table of the general ranges of

charactenstics is given on the back cover (Table 2 page 48) The main

ranges represent trees from a mid-quality site with low- and high-quality

sites corresponding with values in parentheses

RESK-RCH SUiLL-RY

Research was conducted at three sites during Summer 2002 and

2003 - total of 377 tree cores were taken but only those that could be

cross-dated accurately were used -11 trees were measured for heigh t

and crown radius as an average of the longest and shortest side Diamshy

eter measurements of each stem were at root collar (DRC ground level)

stump height (DSH O4-meters high) and breast height (DBH 13-meters

high) Due to multiple stemming of trees especially J oJteOJpelma two

or more diameter measurements often hltld to be taken for DSH and

DBH Photographs of all trees were taken next to a 3-meter pole or a

metric loggers tape with smaller trees for visual reference In addition

a close-up plchlre of bark at DSH was taken of trees at the Mount

Trumbull site The oldest trees cross-dated in this study were a P

from 1675 and aJ osteospem1a from 1648

LYOUT OF PHOTOGR-PHIC GUIDE

The Photographic Guide is broken down by species beginning

with P eduiis and then maturity class by increasing age Both species

have a front page with a brief summary of bark characteristics ifatushy

rity class sections all begin with a main page showing a representative

tree and a range of general characteristics The maturity classes are

further divided into groups of similarly aged trees from low- mid- and

high-guality sites Seedling and Overmahlre classes have only one page

-vith all three guality levels displayed Sapling ifature Vigorous and

ifature Old classes have three pages of similarly aged trees from each of

the three quality levels- Six measurements are given With each tree phoshy

tograph DSH and DBH measurements can have an amp sign designatshy

ing two stems were measured for that tree or a - sign designating

three or more diameters with the low and high value shown

USING THE PHOTOGILPHIC GUIDE

It is important to remember that P edulis and f osteosperma trees

have extremely variable physical manifestations The photographs in

this guide are used to present the physical form of the trees described

by the measured data However not every form could be shown at

every maturity class This Photographic GUide IS by no means a hard

and fast classification for these two species and should be used flexibly

That said here is one way the Photographic Guide could be useful

By conducting a pilot study In an area of interest a user could calibrate

the guide to their Site depending upon whether trees were consistent

with low- mid- and high-quality levels The user could also account for

mlcrosite variation by going up a level with trees in favorable growing

conditions or down a level with suppressed or damaged trees It is enshy

tirely possible that some sites may produce conditions higher than the

high-quality or lower than the low-quality areas presented here

For quick comparisons a summary table of the general ranges of

charactenstics is given on the back cover (Table 2 page 48) The main

ranges represent trees from a mid-quality site with low- and high-quality

sites corresponding with values in parentheses

The trees grow their characteristically shreddy bark from the youngest

ages typically light or dark gray in color

Mature Vigorous s trees mature the

shreddy bark becomes thicker

RESK-RCH SUiLL-RY

Research was conducted at three sites during Summer 2002 and

2003 - total of 377 tree cores were taken but only those that could be

cross-dated accurately were used -11 trees were measured for heigh t

and crown radius as an average of the longest and shortest side Diamshy

eter measurements of each stem were at root collar (DRC ground level)

stump height (DSH O4-meters high) and breast height (DBH 13-meters

high) Due to multiple stemming of trees especially J oJteOJpelma two

or more diameter measurements often hltld to be taken for DSH and

DBH Photographs of all trees were taken next to a 3-meter pole or a

metric loggers tape with smaller trees for visual reference In addition

a close-up plchlre of bark at DSH was taken of trees at the Mount

Trumbull site The oldest trees cross-dated in this study were a P

from 1675 and aJ osteospem1a from 1648

LYOUT OF PHOTOGR-PHIC GUIDE

The Photographic Guide is broken down by species beginning

with P eduiis and then maturity class by increasing age Both species

have a front page with a brief summary of bark characteristics ifatushy

rity class sections all begin with a main page showing a representative

tree and a range of general characteristics The maturity classes are

further divided into groups of similarly aged trees from low- mid- and

high-guality sites Seedling and Overmahlre classes have only one page

-vith all three guality levels displayed Sapling ifature Vigorous and

ifature Old classes have three pages of similarly aged trees from each of

the three quality levels- Six measurements are given With each tree phoshy

tograph DSH and DBH measurements can have an amp sign designatshy

ing two stems were measured for that tree or a - sign designating

three or more diameters with the low and high value shown

USING THE PHOTOGILPHIC GUIDE

It is important to remember that P edulis and f osteosperma trees

have extremely variable physical manifestations The photographs in

this guide are used to present the physical form of the trees described

by the measured data However not every form could be shown at

every maturity class This Photographic GUide IS by no means a hard

and fast classification for these two species and should be used flexibly

That said here is one way the Photographic Guide could be useful

By conducting a pilot study In an area of interest a user could calibrate

the guide to their Site depending upon whether trees were consistent

with low- mid- and high-quality levels The user could also account for

mlcrosite variation by going up a level with trees in favorable growing

conditions or down a level with suppressed or damaged trees It is enshy

tirely possible that some sites may produce conditions higher than the

high-quality or lower than the low-quality areas presented here

For quick comparisons a summary table of the general ranges of

charactenstics is given on the back cover (Table 2 page 48) The main

ranges represent trees from a mid-quality site with low- and high-quality

sites corresponding with values in parentheses

L1ark Characteristic SeedlingSapling

The trees grow their characteristically shreddy bark from the youngest

ages typically light or dark gray in color

Mature Vigorous s trees mature the

shreddy bark becomes thicker

Mature Old Bark becomes less loose as time goes on insect bore

holes are common

Overmature The bark is similar to the

previous two maturity classes often brown and whorled where multiple

stems branch off

RESK-RCH SUiLL-RY

Research was conducted at three sites during Summer 2002 and

2003 - total of 377 tree cores were taken but only those that could be

cross-dated accurately were used -11 trees were measured for heigh t

and crown radius as an average of the longest and shortest side Diamshy

eter measurements of each stem were at root collar (DRC ground level)

stump height (DSH O4-meters high) and breast height (DBH 13-meters

high) Due to multiple stemming of trees especially J oJteOJpelma two

or more diameter measurements often hltld to be taken for DSH and

DBH Photographs of all trees were taken next to a 3-meter pole or a

metric loggers tape with smaller trees for visual reference In addition

a close-up plchlre of bark at DSH was taken of trees at the Mount

Trumbull site The oldest trees cross-dated in this study were a P

from 1675 and aJ osteospem1a from 1648

LYOUT OF PHOTOGR-PHIC GUIDE

The Photographic Guide is broken down by species beginning

with P eduiis and then maturity class by increasing age Both species

have a front page with a brief summary of bark characteristics ifatushy

rity class sections all begin with a main page showing a representative

tree and a range of general characteristics The maturity classes are

further divided into groups of similarly aged trees from low- mid- and

high-guality sites Seedling and Overmahlre classes have only one page

-vith all three guality levels displayed Sapling ifature Vigorous and

ifature Old classes have three pages of similarly aged trees from each of

the three quality levels- Six measurements are given With each tree phoshy

tograph DSH and DBH measurements can have an amp sign designatshy

ing two stems were measured for that tree or a - sign designating

three or more diameters with the low and high value shown

USING THE PHOTOGILPHIC GUIDE

It is important to remember that P edulis and f osteosperma trees

have extremely variable physical manifestations The photographs in

this guide are used to present the physical form of the trees described

by the measured data However not every form could be shown at

every maturity class This Photographic GUide IS by no means a hard

and fast classification for these two species and should be used flexibly

That said here is one way the Photographic Guide could be useful

By conducting a pilot study In an area of interest a user could calibrate

the guide to their Site depending upon whether trees were consistent

with low- mid- and high-quality levels The user could also account for

mlcrosite variation by going up a level with trees in favorable growing

conditions or down a level with suppressed or damaged trees It is enshy

tirely possible that some sites may produce conditions higher than the

high-quality or lower than the low-quality areas presented here

For quick comparisons a summary table of the general ranges of

charactenstics is given on the back cover (Table 2 page 48) The main

ranges represent trees from a mid-quality site with low- and high-quality

sites corresponding with values in parentheses

L1ark Characteristic SeedlingSapling

The trees grow their characteristically shreddy bark from the youngest

ages typically light or dark gray in color

Mature Vigorous s trees mature the

shreddy bark becomes thicker

Mature Old Bark becomes less loose as time goes on insect bore

holes are common

Overmature The bark is similar to the

previous two maturity classes often brown and whorled where multiple

stems branch off

RESK-RCH SUiLL-RY

Research was conducted at three sites during Summer 2002 and

2003 - total of 377 tree cores were taken but only those that could be

cross-dated accurately were used -11 trees were measured for heigh t

and crown radius as an average of the longest and shortest side Diamshy

eter measurements of each stem were at root collar (DRC ground level)

stump height (DSH O4-meters high) and breast height (DBH 13-meters

high) Due to multiple stemming of trees especially J oJteOJpelma two

or more diameter measurements often hltld to be taken for DSH and

DBH Photographs of all trees were taken next to a 3-meter pole or a

metric loggers tape with smaller trees for visual reference In addition

a close-up plchlre of bark at DSH was taken of trees at the Mount

Trumbull site The oldest trees cross-dated in this study were a P

from 1675 and aJ osteospem1a from 1648

LYOUT OF PHOTOGR-PHIC GUIDE

The Photographic Guide is broken down by species beginning

with P eduiis and then maturity class by increasing age Both species

have a front page with a brief summary of bark characteristics ifatushy

rity class sections all begin with a main page showing a representative

tree and a range of general characteristics The maturity classes are

further divided into groups of similarly aged trees from low- mid- and

high-guality sites Seedling and Overmahlre classes have only one page

-vith all three guality levels displayed Sapling ifature Vigorous and

ifature Old classes have three pages of similarly aged trees from each of

the three quality levels- Six measurements are given With each tree phoshy

tograph DSH and DBH measurements can have an amp sign designatshy

ing two stems were measured for that tree or a - sign designating

three or more diameters with the low and high value shown

LYOUT OF PHOTOGRAPHIC GUIDE (cont)

In the lower right corner of each tree photograph IS an Identlficashy

Uon number The SL represents trees from Stoneman Lake fC

are from Valnut Canyon and the more complex [v[T numbers desigshy

nate a specific tagged tree at Mount Trumbull In the upper corners of

maturity class pages icons and headings differentiate species and matushy

rity class for quick reference

USING THE PHOTOGILPHIC GUIDE

It is important to remember that P edulis and f osteosperma trees

have extremely variable physical manifestations The photographs in

this guide are used to present the physical form of the trees described

by the measured data However not every form could be shown at

every maturity class This Photographic GUide IS by no means a hard

and fast classification for these two species and should be used flexibly

That said here is one way the Photographic Guide could be useful

By conducting a pilot study In an area of interest a user could calibrate

the guide to their Site depending upon whether trees were consistent

with low- mid- and high-quality levels The user could also account for

mlcrosite variation by going up a level with trees in favorable growing

conditions or down a level with suppressed or damaged trees It is enshy

tirely possible that some sites may produce conditions higher than the

high-quality or lower than the low-quality areas presented here

For quick comparisons a summary table of the general ranges of

charactenstics is given on the back cover (Table 2 page 48) The main

ranges represent trees from a mid-quality site with low- and high-quality

sites corresponding with values in parentheses

L1ark Characteristic SeedlingSapling

The trees grow their characteristically shreddy bark from the youngest

ages typically light or dark gray in color

Mature Vigorous s trees mature the

shreddy bark becomes thicker

Mature Old Bark becomes less loose as time goes on insect bore

holes are common

Overmature The bark is similar to the

previous two maturity classes often brown and whorled where multiple

stems branch off

RESK-RCH SUiLL-RY

Research was conducted at three sites during Summer 2002 and

2003 - total of 377 tree cores were taken but only those that could be

cross-dated accurately were used -11 trees were measured for heigh t

and crown radius as an average of the longest and shortest side Diamshy

eter measurements of each stem were at root collar (DRC ground level)

stump height (DSH O4-meters high) and breast height (DBH 13-meters

high) Due to multiple stemming of trees especially J oJteOJpelma two

or more diameter measurements often hltld to be taken for DSH and

DBH Photographs of all trees were taken next to a 3-meter pole or a

metric loggers tape with smaller trees for visual reference In addition

a close-up plchlre of bark at DSH was taken of trees at the Mount

Trumbull site The oldest trees cross-dated in this study were a P

from 1675 and aJ osteospem1a from 1648

LYOUT OF PHOTOGR-PHIC GUIDE

The Photographic Guide is broken down by species beginning

with P eduiis and then maturity class by increasing age Both species

have a front page with a brief summary of bark characteristics ifatushy

rity class sections all begin with a main page showing a representative

tree and a range of general characteristics The maturity classes are

further divided into groups of similarly aged trees from low- mid- and

high-guality sites Seedling and Overmahlre classes have only one page

-vith all three guality levels displayed Sapling ifature Vigorous and

ifature Old classes have three pages of similarly aged trees from each of

the three quality levels- Six measurements are given With each tree phoshy

tograph DSH and DBH measurements can have an amp sign designatshy

ing two stems were measured for that tree or a - sign designating

three or more diameters with the low and high value shown

LYOUT OF PHOTOGRAPHIC GUIDE (cont)

In the lower right corner of each tree photograph IS an Identlficashy

Uon number The SL represents trees from Stoneman Lake fC

are from Valnut Canyon and the more complex [v[T numbers desigshy

nate a specific tagged tree at Mount Trumbull In the upper corners of

maturity class pages icons and headings differentiate species and matushy

rity class for quick reference

USING THE PHOTOGILPHIC GUIDE

It is important to remember that P edulis and f osteosperma trees

have extremely variable physical manifestations The photographs in

this guide are used to present the physical form of the trees described

by the measured data However not every form could be shown at

every maturity class This Photographic GUide IS by no means a hard

and fast classification for these two species and should be used flexibly

That said here is one way the Photographic Guide could be useful

By conducting a pilot study In an area of interest a user could calibrate

the guide to their Site depending upon whether trees were consistent

with low- mid- and high-quality levels The user could also account for

mlcrosite variation by going up a level with trees in favorable growing

conditions or down a level with suppressed or damaged trees It is enshy

tirely possible that some sites may produce conditions higher than the

high-quality or lower than the low-quality areas presented here

For quick comparisons a summary table of the general ranges of

charactenstics is given on the back cover (Table 2 page 48) The main

ranges represent trees from a mid-quality site with low- and high-quality

sites corresponding with values in parentheses

L1ark Characteristic SeedlingSapling

The trees grow their characteristically shreddy bark from the youngest

ages typically light or dark gray in color

Mature Vigorous s trees mature the

shreddy bark becomes thicker

Mature Old Bark becomes less loose as time goes on insect bore

holes are common

Overmature The bark is similar to the

previous two maturity classes often brown and whorled where multiple

stems branch off

LYOUT OF PHOTOGRAPHIC GUIDE (cont)

In the lower right corner of each tree photograph IS an Identlficashy

Uon number The SL represents trees from Stoneman Lake fC

are from Valnut Canyon and the more complex [v[T numbers desigshy

nate a specific tagged tree at Mount Trumbull In the upper corners of

maturity class pages icons and headings differentiate species and matushy

rity class for quick reference

USING THE PHOTOGILPHIC GUIDE

It is important to remember that P edulis and f osteosperma trees

have extremely variable physical manifestations The photographs in

this guide are used to present the physical form of the trees described

by the measured data However not every form could be shown at

every maturity class This Photographic GUide IS by no means a hard

and fast classification for these two species and should be used flexibly

That said here is one way the Photographic Guide could be useful

By conducting a pilot study In an area of interest a user could calibrate

the guide to their Site depending upon whether trees were consistent

with low- mid- and high-quality levels The user could also account for

mlcrosite variation by going up a level with trees in favorable growing

conditions or down a level with suppressed or damaged trees It is enshy

tirely possible that some sites may produce conditions higher than the

high-quality or lower than the low-quality areas presented here

For quick comparisons a summary table of the general ranges of

charactenstics is given on the back cover (Table 2 page 48) The main

ranges represent trees from a mid-quality site with low- and high-quality

sites corresponding with values in parentheses

L1ark Characteristic SeedlingSapling

The trees grow their characteristically shreddy bark from the youngest

ages typically light or dark gray in color

Mature Vigorous s trees mature the

shreddy bark becomes thicker

Mature Old Bark becomes less loose as time goes on insect bore

holes are common

Overmature The bark is similar to the

previous two maturity classes often brown and whorled where multiple

stems branch off

The trees grow their characteristically shreddy bark from the youngest

ages typically light or dark gray in color

Mature Vigorous s trees mature the

shreddy bark becomes thicker

Mature Old Bark becomes less loose as time goes on insect bore

holes are common

Overmature The bark is similar to the

previous two maturity classes often brown and whorled where multiple

stems branch off

The trees grow their characteristically shreddy bark from the youngest

ages typically light or dark gray in color

Mature Vigorous s trees mature the

shreddy bark becomes thicker

Mature Old Bark becomes less loose as time goes on insect bore

holes are common

Overmature The bark is similar to the

previous two maturity classes often brown and whorled where multiple

stems branch off

L1ark Characteristic SeedlingSapling

The trees grow their characteristically shreddy bark from the youngest

ages typically light or dark gray in color

Mature Vigorous s trees mature the

shreddy bark becomes thicker

Mature Old Bark becomes less loose as time goes on insect bore

holes are common

Overmature The bark is similar to the

previous two maturity classes often brown and whorled where multiple

stems branch off

L1ark Characteristic SeedlingSapling

The trees grow their characteristically shreddy bark from the youngest

ages typically light or dark gray in color

Mature Vigorous s trees mature the

shreddy bark becomes thicker

Mature Old Bark becomes less loose as time goes on insect bore

holes are common

Overmature The bark is similar to the

previous two maturity classes often brown and whorled where multiple

stems branch off

The trees grow their characteristically shreddy bark from the youngest

ages typically light or dark gray in color

previous two maturity classes often brown and whorled where multiple

stems branch off

L1ark Characteristic SeedlingSapling

The trees grow their characteristically shreddy bark from the youngest

ages typically light or dark gray in color

Mature Vigorous s trees mature the

shreddy bark becomes thicker

Mature Old Bark becomes less loose as time goes on insect bore

holes are common

Overmature The bark is similar to the

previous two maturity classes often brown and whorled where multiple

stems branch off

L1ark Characteristic SeedlingSapling

The trees grow their characteristically shreddy bark from the youngest

ages typically light or dark gray in color

Mature Vigorous s trees mature the

shreddy bark becomes thicker

Mature Old Bark becomes less loose as time goes on insect bore

holes are common

Overmature The bark is similar to the

previous two maturity classes often brown and whorled where multiple

stems branch off
