Comments: Coconino Sample Plot S3; A 16 inch class 3C ponderosa pine showing development of the upper portion of the crown during the 30 yrs follwoing logging. It seems probable that most of the crown above the fork has developed since the tree was released. If so, the tree was in vigor class D 30 yrs ago.
