A defect study of 1,725 logs cut from 498 trees provided the basis for determining the relationships between tree age, volume, and defect. Red rot was responsible for 8.6 percent, brown rots 7.3 percent, and other defects 3.3 percent of the total 19.2 percent defect. Red rot, found in 68 percent of all trees, was the most important cause of defect.
