APPLICATION OF THE METHOD TO THE PRINCIPAL FOREST TREES. I. TREATMENT OF HIGH OAK FOREST. Habitat.?When the oak is mentioned without further specification it always means either the British Oak (Q. pedunculata), or the Sessile-flowered Oak (Q. sessiliftora). These two trees inhabit mild and temperate climates, the former advancing further north, the other more towards the south, but their habitat is chiefly determined by the amount of moisture in the soil. Thus the former prefers very moist and even damp soils, containing a rather strong proportion of clay, the latter, free soils that are merely moist. The former is chiefly found in plains; the latter, though also found in plains, prefers hilly or low mountainous ground. Peculiarites Of Growth.?The seed of these two oaks is heavy, the cover light, and the young plant hardy, though it cannot stand spring frosts. Their roots take a vertical direction downwards and the taproot is very long in the early life of the plant. They do not produce sucker-s, but they throw up shoots from the stool up to an advanced age. Their growth, somewhat slow at the beginning, becomes rapid in good soil and the more the crown is developed, the greater density does the timber acquire. When an individual tree is isolated, or at somedistance from its neighbour, the bole covers itself with epicormic branches and becomes knotty, especially in the case of the peduncled oak Both are trees of great longevity, of great height, and capable of attaining immense girth. Their sapwood, the thickness of which is sometimes considerable, decays rapidly, and it is essential to cut it out from timber intended for any important use.
