trees suitable for making lumber; usually larger than 12 inches dbh
Trees that are large enough and of high enough quality to produce logs that can be sawed into lumber.

Standing trees of an appropriate size (for example, 13 inches DBH and above) and species to be used to produce lumber. Logs cut from sawtimber trees are called sawlogs. Also see “Chip- n-saw,” “Diameter breast high,” “Merchantable timber,” “Pulpwood,' and “Veneer log.'
