Container-Grown Seedlings

Container-grown seedling production in the Southeast has increased from 1.5 million in 1974 to 2.5 million in 1976 and will probably exceed 5 million in 1977. This is a very small part of the total seedling production in this area. Major interest is in supplementing use of bare root seedlings for improving survival and growth of same species, extending the planting season, planting difficult sites, research and progeny testing.
