TY - JOUR T1 - Planting Techniques for Tree Spade Dug Trees JF - Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) SP - 282 LP - 284 DO - 10.48044/jauf.1983.067 VL - 9 IS - 11 AU - Robert Birdel AU - Carl Whitcomb AU - B.L. Appleton Y1 - 1983/11/01 UR - http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/9/11/282.abstract N2 - New growth on Japanese black pines and Hopa flowering crabapples was greater on tree-spade-dug trees transplanted into back-hoe dug holes than on tree-spade-dug trees transplanted into holes dug and modified in other ways. This study suggests that a large volume of well-aerated backfill will reduce transplanting stress. ER -
