Abstract

Pin oak (Quercus palustris Muenchh.) and pecan (Carya illinoensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch) trees were planted on reforestation plots at Four Rivers Conservation Area in west-central Missouri. The study was conducted to determine survival and growth rates of the two species under different production methods and environmental variables. Production methods included direct seeding, bare root seedlings, and RPM® planting stock. Combinations of planting stock and species were implemented on two elevations (mounded or unmounded soils).
