Performance of Fall- and Spring- Planted Bareroot and Container-Grown Red Pine ( Pinus resinosa Ait.)

Red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.) styro-plug, 20, 3-0, and 2-2 seedlings were planted in the fall and spring. After four field seasons for the spring-planted seedlings and three for the fall-planted seedlings, survival and height growth of the container seedlings was similar to that of the 2-0 and 3-0 seedlings. The 2-2 transplant stock generally outperformed all the other stock classes. Planting season had no significant effect on survival of container stock. Average annual height growth was better on spring-planted trees than on fall-planted trees, irrespective of stock class. Tree Planters' Notes 37(2):24-26; 1986.
