Impact of Christmas 1983 Freeze on Growth and Survival of Slash, Loblolly, and Longleaf Pine Seedlings from Alabama and Georgia Nurseries
Outplantings of loblolly seedlings made before and after the freeze during Christmas 1983 indicate very little impact of the freeze on survival (1%) or growth. Slash pine is more susceptible to cold injury than loblolly and suffered greater losses in field plantings (survival - 44.8%). Field survival of longleaf seedlings, which are most susceptible to cold injury, was only 24.4%.
