Comment:
Replanted poplar trees in the GLBRC Main Site Treatment G8, all replications. Criteria for replanting: 1. original cutting from 2008 or replanted cutting(s) from 2009 did not grow; 2. replanted cutting(s) from 2009 grew but total visible growth was less than 6”; 3. cutting grew well but deer damaged the tree to below ground level and nothing was visible above ground. Transplanting material were 1 year old bare root whips measuring between 3 feet and 6 feet in height. Roots were pruned as necessary to reduce the risk of J-hook. Roots were also soaked for approximately 1-2 hours prior to planting. A hole was dug approximately 8-12 inches deep and 8-15 inches in diameter, the root ball placed in it, and the hole was filled in. The following number of trees was planted: Replicate 1 - 3; Replicate 2 - 2; Replicate 3 - 16; Replicate 4 - 15; Replicate 5 - 11.
