ABSTRACT
A plantation of 104 clones of poplar was established in February, 1982 over an area of one hectare (2.5 acres) in Range Management Nursery of the Pakistan Forest Institute. Both cuttings and whole nursery plants were planted in it at a spacing of 2.7 x 2.7 meters (9 x 9 feet). Irrigation was applied as and when required from an open sewerage drain. All necessary cultural operation were carried out according to the plan of operations. Ten years old tree crop in may, 1992 consisted of only 536 trees because there were numerous gaps in it. Amongst these, 11 trees were defective (top broken per dry and partially rotten from ground upwards). The diameters of trees at breast height (dbh) ranged from 6 cm (2.4 inch) to 50 cm (20 inch) with standing volume of 134.73 (4755.5 ft3), which was estimated with the help of volume table of the species.
