Sudden and sustained response of Acacia koa crop trees to crown release in stagnant stands

We examined the growth response of Acacia koa Gray (koa) in dense (10 000 trees/ha), ~25-year-old, secondgrowth stands on Hawai‘i to crown release (thinning) and grass control. Koa diameter increment increased within 2 months of thinning across the range of residual densities (200–900 trees/ha).
