The Effect of Chilling and Seed Source on the Growth of Containerized Fraser Fir (Abies fraseri (Pursh) Poir.) Seedlings

Artificial and natural chilling of containerized Fraser fir (Abies fraseri (Pursh) Poir.) seedlings were compared in seed from two sources. Seedlings from both sources showed superior elongation when chilled outdoors through November 13 than when chilled artificially in a cold room at 2 °C. Height growth of 15-month-old containerized seedlings exceeded that of 4-year-old conventionally grown seedlings. Tree Planters' Notes 38(2):19-21; 1987.
