Despite its name, this full-color handbook will be useful to anyone growing native plants in either bareroot or container nurseries. The index lists almost 150 genera and (or) species, including some commercially important nonnative trees. The technical coordinators for revising the original 1989 version did a nice job of expediting the revision an...

The science of growing reforestation and conservation plants in containers has continually evolved, and three simple observations may greatly improve seedling quality. First, retaining stock in its original container for more than one growing season should be avoided. Second, strongly taprooted species now being grown as bareroot stock may be good...
Some morphological and physiological traits of container and bareroot Pinus palustris Mill, seedlings at planting, under different nitrogen treatments in the fall, were evaluated. After one year, these traits were correlated with survival and other variables. Survival did not increase with nursery nitrogen fertilization. However, some positive corr...
Plant nurseries produce many species simultaneously, which are often not used at the right time, remaining in the nurseries. These plants become aged and tall and, when planted in the field, often show poor performance, topple over, or die in degraded areas. This work aimed to evaluate the practice of drastic pruning in the rejuvenation of aged see...
The quantity and quality of seedlings in the nursery has an impact on the success of re-establishment and later growth. High germination rates enable a sufficient number of seedlings, and their quality is assessed using a number of parameters, including seedling height and root collar diameter. These parameters are influenced in some species by see...
