Babal (Acacia nilotica) is one of the main tree species in riverain forests of Sindh province of Pakistan. Timber out turn data, i.e., logs, pit-props and wastage of timber as bonds, forks, breakage and decay etc. on 40 trees of babul, with respect to tree size and age recorded during normal felling operation is given. The result revealed that the low production of pit props from babul trees is more a silvicultural and management problem rather than felling and conversation.
