Abstract
White spruce trees were planted in the Larose County Forest, Ontario, on a sandy soil which has a permanent water table 6-24 inches below the surface. In one method of planting the trees were placed in the bottom of the furrow, and in a second method they were planted in the upturned furrow slice. Eight years after planting there was found to be no difference in the survival rates of trees planted by either method, but the height of those trees planted in the upturned furrow slice was significantly greater than that of trees planted in the bottom of the furrow. The difference in height appeared to be related to the fact that those trees planted in the furrow bottoms had their roots placed in a zone of the soil which is seasonally saturated with water.
