Abstract
A summary is given of studies during 1987-89 at State forest nurseries in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Ohio. Standards are suggested for improving root and shoot characteristics (especially the number of permanent first-order lateral roots) ofQuercus rubra, Q. alba and Juglans nigra bare-rooted seedlings using control of bed density and seed source, and undercutting.
