Seedling Grade in Hardwoods

Our experience in planting billions of pine seedlings ias shown that seedling grade has a strong relationship to the success of plantations. We do not have as much experience in planting hardwood seedlings, but our limited planting confirms the strong relationship between seedling grade and plantation success. This morning I want to call to your attention some published accounts of research on grading hardwood seedlings and to tell about some results of our research with sycamore and sweetgum. I hope this will encourage you either to grow larger hardwood seedlings or to grade out the unplantable seedlings.
