Practical Application of Dormancy Induction Techniques to Greenhouse-Grown Conifers in Sweden

Experiments to determine the effects of different hardening treatments in the nursery on 1-year-old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) seedlings are described. Seedling performance after early autumn planting and early lifting for overwinter cold storage were better if long night treatments were used. Long night treatments are used in several Swedish nurseries.
