Abstract

Release treatments applied to 11-year-old direct-seeded Nuttall oaks (Quercus nuttallii Palmer) did not significantly increase the number of free-to-grow oaks at age 17 compared to oaks that did not receive release treatments. Treatments consisted of cutting or deadening other species that were as tall as, or 1-1/3 or 1-2/3 times taller than, the average 15-ft-tall, free-to-grow oaks. South. J. Appl. For. 12(1):46-49.
