Bending stress required to winch Acer rubrum, planted from container or field nursery, following removal of stabilization systems one year after planting.
| Production method | Bending stress to one degree trunk tilt (kN/m2) | Bending stress to five degrees trunk tilt (kN/m2) |
|---|---|---|
| Container | 8,972 bz | 29,210 b |
| Field | 10,554 a | 36,316 a |
↵z Means within a column with different letter are statistically different at P < 0.05; n = 20, averaged across stabilization system due to insignificant interaction.
