Analysis reveals a consistent correlation between tree height and age in black cherry, suggesting reliable site index estimates.
The linear relationship between tree height and logarithm of age, for trees older than 15 years, was found to be consistent among representative black cherries, Prunus serotina Ehrh., from each of two sites. Stem analysis data from a very few trees were sufficient to establish a reliable estimate of site index.
