Estimate the Volume of Bark as a Percentage Calculator

Spike VM

The volume of bark on a tree varies by species and will vary along the length of the tree. It is almost impossible to calculate exact values. Average bark volume can be estimated with the Dobie and Wright's formula.

This formula will estimate the average bark volume as a percentage of the total volume and as a percentage of the wood volume.
