Juvenile Growth of Planted Northern Red Oak: Effects of Fertilization and Size of Planting Stock

Artificial regeneration of northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) is presently difficult. Direct seeding will continue to be a risk until depredation by animals can be curtailed. While good survival can be obtained by using standard planting techniques, early growth is poor (Olson and Hooper 1968). In an effort to obtain rapid early growth of planted stock, we investigated the combined use of. fertilization and larger than average seedlings.
