Successful Coppice Regeneration of Second-Growth Redwood
Sprouts are important to rapid regeneration of cutover old-growth redwood (Sequoia sempervirens (D. Don) Endl.). A recent paper notes that generally half the stems of second-growth redwood are sprouts (4). Coppice regeneration after harvesting these secondgrowth stands has received little attention, however. As many as 95 percent of second-growth stumps sprout, according to one report (1). These sprouts grow rapidly and constitute most of the crop trees after clearcutting of well-stocked second-growth stands. Though few species are easier to regenerate, several problems do exist.
