Scott, G. L. and McCaughey, W. W. IN: National proceedings: forest and conservation nursery associations 2005. Riley, L.E.; Dumroese, R.K.; Landis, T.D., technical coordinators. USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station, Proceedings RMRS-P-43, p.84-90. 2006.

When planting whitebark pine, the recommendations are: 1) reduce overstory competition; 2) reduce understory vegetation, especially grasses and sedges; 3) avoid outplanting in swales or frost pocket areas; 4) provide shade protection; 5) plant where there is protection from heavy snow loading; and 6) provide adequate growing space.
