Studies in the South indicate that sycamore promises high yields of wood fiber on a "silage-sycamore" type of very short rotations. Such a use of sapling-sized rather than the more mature trees as is now the practice for wood fiber production would reduce the interest burden of the long growth period. Also, the possibility of using agricultural-type equipment such as a corn chopper for the harvesting of suckers would open new opportunities for reducing the present relatively high percentage of a wood product's cost attributed to the harvesting process.
