The relationship between crown width and tree diameter is presented for open-grown pine in Quebec so that "Maximum Crown Area" in square feet can be estimated from tree diameter. The relationship between maximum crown area and tree diameter provides a basis for computing the "Crown Competition Factor" value of a stand as a measure of stand density. The CCF values for plots covering a range of ages were investigated.
