Second- Season Top and Root Development of Potted, 1-0, Bareroot Paulownia Tomentosa Seedlings
Paulownia tomentosa seedlings were grown in a nurserybed at a density of 64 seedlings per square meter for one growing season. Dormant, 1-0, bareroot seedlings were lifted the following spring and grown in a greenhouse in large pots filled with sand. Three seedlings were removed every 7 days for a period of 49 days to measure top and root growth. Shoot bud break and new roots developed 7 days after planting. Shoot and root growth dramatically increased 21 days after planting with a reduction in original taproot dry weight.
