Abstract
The past and present yields of typical eucalypt forests in New South Wales are in the order of 3 to 40 cubic feet per acre; but the potential productivity is often in excess of 100 cubic feet per acre. The low actual yields are due to the low level and poor quality of the forest growing stock. Various characteristics of the growing stock are considered. Productivity can be increased by adopting an appropriate silvicultural treatment which promotes the rapid regeneration of unstocked areas and removes useless growing stock, thus eventually increasing the level and quality of growing stock. Substantial improvement in productivity will result also from the control of internal tree defects and improved marketing of a wider range of products.
