Abstract

In 1985, two cutovers, 11 and 8 years old, that had been planted with bare-root stock of black spruce and jack pine were sampled for height growth of regeneration. Both planted stock and black spruce layers were sampled. Height growth was obtained for each year, going back to the year of planting or to the year of the cut. Annual height growth of transplants and layers of black spruce was similar. In one of the cutovers, height growth in 1985 was 28 cm for transplants and 30 cm for layers; in the other, height growth reached 39 and 36 cm, respectively. Jack pine, planted only in the second cutover, had a more rapid height development than black spruce and its current annual growth now stands at 43 cm.
