Cross-sectional characteristics of Pinusradiata trees grown in different parts of Australia were examined. A regression equation which related heartwood diameter at a given age of the tree to the diameter at breast height outside bark and the product of the tree age and its diameter at 5 years gave a high degree of correspondence between observed and predicted heartwood diameter.
