- Observation Laurel growth was marginal, with an average yield of 125.26 cubic metres per hectare at nine years.
- Observation Laurel mean annual increment was 13.92 cubic metres per hectare at nine years.
- Observation The NG value averaged 1.15 with little plot variation, indicating thinning from below.
- Intervention effect Intensive thinning produced the greatest annual DBH increase of 2.03 cm.
- Intervention effect Intensive thinning produced the greatest annual basal area increase of 61.37 square centimetres.
- Recommendation Early thinning to 200 well-spaced trees per hectare could improve laurel regeneration management.
