Field Performance of Small-Volume Container-Grown Seedlings in the Central Interior of British Columbia

Operational plantations of interior spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss, Picea engelmannii Parry), lodgepole pine (Pines contorta var. latifolia Engelm.), and interior Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca [Beissn.] Franco) in the central interior of British Columbia were examined to compare field performance of small-volume container-grown seedlings and bare-root seedlings and transplants. The performance of interior spruce container-grown seedlings was judged superior to that of bare-root seedlings and transplants. Lodgepole pine container-grown seedlings survived and grew as well as bare-root seedlings. The performance of a limited number of Douglas-fir plantations was less than satisfactory for both stock types.
