Growth and Survival of Three Hardwood Species As Affected By Artificial Regeneration Method

A major problem with bare-rooted hardwood seedlings is that much of the root system is often damaged during the lifting operation. The root system is further reduced by severe root pruning, particularly if the species has a tap root. To determine whether slow early growth is associated with root pruning and damage to seedlings during lifting and transplanting, the growth and survival of 1—0 bare-rooted seedlings were compared with those of seedlings established by direct seeding and container-grown seedlings. Northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.), black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.), and yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) were compared at the end of 7 years.
