Recently two pole-sized slash pine plantations—one in Georgia and one in South Carolina—have been found to have severe root rot leading to breaking over, and to some killing of trees. These examples of F. annosus aggressiveness in pole-sized slash pine plantations must be watched with care, especially since thinning tends to increase annosus damage. This development, plus the loblolly spot die-out situation, shows that plantations cannot be fully evaluated until they reach minimum merchantable size. - ^7 -.
