Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the timing of the thinning and pruning regime for Acacia mangum stands with reference to the recently revised guideline for plantations of fast-growing species in Malaysia. We propose an initial stand density of 1400 stems/ ha, an early reduction to 900 stems/ha at a stand height of about 5 m and a second thinning to 500 stems/ha at a stand height of 10-12 m. A low pruning to 2.5 m goes with the first thinning and high pruning to 6 m at the time of the second thinning, and a third thinning down to 300 stems/ha when stands reach a height of about 20 m is recommended. The importance of long crowns for maximum diameter growth is discussed.
