D.L. Phipps Forest Nursery Contract Tree Lifting

Contract tree lifting at the Phipps Nursery started as a last resort in March of 1965. The nursery was flooded on December 22, 1964 for a period of from 12 to 20 hours depending on the particular elevation within the nursery. An overlay of silt of from one to eight inches in depth was deposited on the nursery beds. The 2-0 seedlings were the most heavily silted as the canopy tended to capture the silt particles from the current, burying the seedlings within an inch or two of the tips of the leaders.
