In order to study the conditions of the tree damage by snow in the heavy-snow area, 1055 trees planted in 1959 on the stand of 0.52 ha have been observed from 1965 to 1975. During the observation period 580 trees had been heavily damaged by snow. In addition, some suppressed trees were cut. Until 1975 only 449 trees remained without heavy damage. Among them, however, some trees slightly damaged at their top parts. It is recognized that the damage is especially severe in the heavy snow year and the damaged trees mainly distribute in the valley and on the steep slope.
