Sucking air for a question this morning. Here goes: Working with a certain soil type that will push a white oak 80' in 50 years. What is the forestry term of the last sentence?

Everything is hyper these days, maybe trees are also.

It's a forestry productivity term?

If I forget to check back in, it means I've left for Christmas, will answer later, maybe Sunday.

Site Index was the word I was looking for. In my example the soil/site will grow an 80 foot white oak in 50 years. Usually written as 80 with a sub of the number of years, in this case 50.

Wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas
