Can anyone please tell me anything about the origins of the TERM
'old-growth'?  I guess it originated in the Pacific NorthWest of North
America and has become widely adopted in Australia and elsewhere.  It does
not appear in the indices of European forestry text books nor,
surprisingly, in the US forestry text books of the 1930s that I have seen
(eg Mathews 5th edn 1935). Any leads would be much appreciated.
