Abstract

This study investigated the effect of tree management techniques (pollarding and pruning) on two genotypes each of Acacia mangium, Acacia auriculiformis and Leucaena sp. planted on a mixture of sand and slime tin tailings. Eighteen months growth was assessed. Survival was generally high for all the genotypes. The best growth was recorded in A. auriculiformis, followed by A. mangium and Leucaena sp.
