Growth of black walnut seedlings during the first season after transplanting

Abstract

Black walnut trees planted as 1-0 seedlings generally show little, if any, net height growth during the first year. Possible reasons for slow first-year growth include transplanting shock, lack of root regeneration, unfavorable environments, and unsuitable genotypes. To help understand reasons for the slow growth, we studied the first-year growth of black walnut seedlings grown in four environments.
