A theoretical analysis shows that the influence of tree dimension on production capacity differs between, but also within, different delimbing principles. Some multi-stem delimbing methods seem to be most promising for upholdung productivity in a situation with declining tree dimensions. There are a few machines available today which work according to these methods. However, some multi-stem delimbers are as sensitive to tree dimension as single-stem delimbers, although they may have a higher rate of production. Further research and development are required to solve the problems of future harvestings.
