Abstract

The target Douglas-fir seedling for outplanting on Roseburg Resources Company timberlands is a least-cost, large [stem] caliper 1- to 2-year old bareroot (>8 mm) or container (>6 mm) seedling with good form, high root growth potential, and the ability to withstand browse without the use of browse deterrents. This target is achieved through the use of large cell transplant plugs and low density spring or fall transplanting, or large cell low density container seedlings for outplanting.
