The growth of the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) culture established at different planting times using container and bare-roots seedlings

Barzdajn W. 2010. Wzrost uprawy sosny zwyczajnej (Pinus sylvestris L.) zalozonej przy uzyciu sadzonek z brylka i z nagim korzeniem w roznych terminach sadzenia. Sylwan 154 (5): 312-322. The paper evaluates seedling performance in a forest culture five years after its establishment. Three pre-winter and one spring planting dates have been tested using root-balls and bare-roots seedlings. Both types of seedlings planted before winter showed the same quality, while the quality of seedlings with root-ball planted in spring was higher. Seedlings with root-ball were not affected by the time of planting. Differences between root-ball and bare root Seedlings planted in spring increased throughout the entire five-year test period.
