Abstract

The tree “bulan baon” (Fagraea crenulata) is a type of endemic plant in Bantaian Village, Batu Hampar Rohil District. Planted by the community in a monoculture area of one hectare, spacing of 2.5 x 5 meters in 2017. However, it is not yet known how much potential is produced from the moon baon tree stand which is currently 7 years old since it was planted. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of community forest stands for the type of moon baon (Fagraea crenulata) in Bantaian Village, Batu Hampar Rohil District. The research method is direct measurement in the field by making 3 plots measuring 20 x 20 meters. Then the number of trees, basal area and tree volume were calculated. The results showed that the average number of bolan baon community forest trees was 783 per hectare. The average basal area is 50,941 m2/ha, while the tree volume averages 721,478 m3/ha.
