Abstract

A telephone survey of selected forest seedling nursery managers was conducted in early 2004. About 2 dozen managers were contacted and asked to respond during a brief (15 to 30 minute) conversation about the current practices they employ to manage root and shoot growth of hardwood seedlings. The participants involved were evenly split between public agencies (government) and private agencies (forest industry or other corporate entities). To receive open and honest responses to all questions, individual nursery names, locations, and managers were kept confidential.Individual papers from this publication
