Comments: Fort Valley Exp. Forest, Ariz. A good seed tree in the foreground. The full crown carries a large leaf area, and the pointed top indicates good height growth. The smaller trees in the group to the left bear only small quantities of seed. The large tree in the right background is declining and should not be left for seed. Four age classes of ponderosa pine; overmature, mature, blackjack, and seedlings. G.A. Pearson.
