Abstract

Cuttings of sycamore and cottonwood can be planted successfully in wet soil from October until bud break in the spring. Sycamore seedlings can be planted all year if available soil moisture exceeds evapotranspiration. Dormant seedlings survived summer planting better than did freshly lifted seedlings.
