Effects of lift date, storage, and family on early survial and root growth potential of Shortleaf Pine.

High survival and RGP can be expected for seedlings planted from December through February even when a severe spring drought occurs. Seedling performance is only slightly reduced by storage, is positively related to number of primary lateral roots, negatively related to presence of secondary needles, and not related to the presence of a terminal bud.
