RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Establishment Rates for Different Bareroot Grades of Trees JF Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) JO JOA FD International Society of Arboriculture SP 264 OP 266 DO 10.48044/jauf.1982.060 VO 8 IS 10 A1 Litzow, Margaret A1 Pellett, Harold YR 1982 UL http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/8/10/264.abstract AB Establishment rates of eleven grades of bareroot green ash were compared at two locations for three growing seasons. Three whip and two branched grades consistently showed the greater percentage increases in trunk diameter than the other six grades. There were large differences in growth rates and survival between the two locations. In the clean-cultivated plots all trees survived and after three growing seasons 8’-branched and smaller grades had at least doubled in trunk diameter. Similar size trees planted at a different location in high grass and mulched with wood chips had poorer survival rates with no grades doubling in average trunk diameter.
