An integro-differential equation model of tree height growth is developed, together with a biological interpretation of its coefficients. The integro-differential equation is reduced to a second order linear differential equation with constraints on its initial conditions. Because of the constraints, fitting of the differential equation is best accomplished using a multipoint boundary value approach. An example using stem analysis data is presented. The model fit the data well and was montonically increasing with an upper asymptote, although several other curve forms are possible.
