How containers affect tubed seedlings 5 years after planting

Canada is expending a great deal of effort toward containerization of seedlings (2). One of the first methods to gain practical acceptance was the "Ontario" tubeling, a seedling grown in a cylindrical tube 7.6 cm in length, 1.4 cm in diameter, open at both ends, and made of high-impact, non-biodegradable styrene, 0.3 mm thick. Tubes are slit along their entire length, so that they may open and thus release the seedling's roots.
