Starch Levels in Fall-Lifted Hardwood Planting Stock and Thier Relation to Field Survival and Growth

Starch concentration of 1-0 black walnut,red oak, white ash, and yellow poplar seedlings was measured at nine fall lifting dates, during overwinter cold storage, and at spring planting. Peak starch concentrations in shoots were reached in September and early October, followed by peat concentrations in roots in late October, followed by peat concentrations in roots in late October and November. Root starch concentration of all species declines during storage.
