Abstract

Abstract The physiological and economic feasibility of producing pre-finished woody landscape plants normally considered restricted to northern climates in the southern states was investigated. Several years of work in Florida indicates that this production scheme is feasible for Ilex × meserveae S.Y. Hu ‘Blue Prince’, Viburnum opulus L., V. × juddii Rehd. and Berberis thunbergii DC. ‘Crimson Pigmy’. Euonymus alata Thunb. ‘Compacta’, Acer rubrum L., Magnolia × soulangiana Soul. -Bod. and Hamamelis virginiana L. were not viable candidates under production practices considered to date. The estimated costs for producing these plants in 930 cm3 (1 qt) containers is $0.66, with about 38% of this cost associated with labor.
