Abstract

Cold storage of pine seedlings has become an accepted practice in the South. For the past 3 years the Yazoo-Little Tallahatchie Flood Prevention Project in north Mississippi has been using railroad refrigerator cars, parked on sidings, to store loblolly pine seedlings. This is a report of a 1963 study of survival and growth of stock that was outplanted after being held for 1, 5, and 9 weeks in refrigerator cars and in a cold-storage room.
