Twelve-year-old rootstocks of sycamore and sweetgum were coppiced at monthly intervals for one year. Sprout growth was measured three and five years after cutting. After three years, average dry weight of the sprouts cut in May, June and July was lower by 36% for sycamore and by 24% for sweetgum than those cut during the other months of the year. However, these differences were reduced to be 23% and 14%, respectively, after five years.
