Salt tolerance of 10 deciduous shrub and tree species

Ten species of deciduous shrubs and trees were grown in a greenhouse and irrigated with nutrient solution plus sodium sulfate, chloride, and bicarbonate to yield salt concentrations with conductivity of 1.6, 4.5, 7.2, 12.1, and 16.6 mmhos/cm. Honeysuckle, crabapple, lilac, and American plum were salt sensitive. Buffaloberry, Russian olive, and chokecherry were moderately sensitive. Green ash, juneberry, and caragana were tolerant.
