Abstract
Species planting trials were carried out in Tapah Hills forest in 1972. For each species a total of 1000 trees were line-planted in five 0. 64 ha blocks, that is, 200 trees/ block. The percentage survival 17 years after planting can be ranked as follows: gerutu-gerutu (Parashorea stellata) - 77.9%; meranti tembaga (Shorea leprosula) - 54.4%; meranti sarang punai (Shorea parvifolia) - 43.9%; jelutong (Dyera costulata) - 32%; and meranti seraya (Shorea curtisii) - 25.8%. The mean dbh of the biggest 100 trees/ha 17 years after planting was: gerutu-gerutu - 24.9 cm; meranti sarang punai- 23. 9 cm; meranti tembaga 22.3 cm; meranti seraya 14. 4 cm; and jelutong - 14.1 cm. However, gross standing volume analyzed also for the 100 biggest trees/ha, but based on the 15 years growth, indicates the following results: meranti sarang punai - 62.2 m³/ha; gerutu-gerutu - 62.1 m³/ha; meranti tembaga- 56. 6 m³/ha; jelutong 20. 8 m³/ha; and meranti seraya - 15 0 m³ /ha. It is envisaged that species such as gerutu-gerutu, meranti sarang punai and meranti tembaga can attain a harvestable diameter of 50 to 60 cm dbh in 40 years through enrichment planting program.
