Abstract

The impact of fire damage on the shoot growth potential of 36 branches on each of nine ponderosa pine (Pinusponderosa Laws.) trees was evaluated after a fall season prescribed surface fire. In the first season after burning, mean fascicle lengths and bud sizes (length and diameter) were greater on trees which received underburning treatment than on unburned trees. No treatment effect was observed on shoot lengths, needle numbers, or fascicle numbers, characters determined in the season of bud formation.
