Summary
The study was conducted at the Siberian Outpost in Sequoia National Park (118°17' W, 36°29'N) at 3293 m elevation.
Transplant success: Large-diameter plugs (unpotted and unfertilized) produced best results, with 21 of 40 (52.5%) surviving after four years. Other large-diameter plug treatments faired less well: no pot + fertiliser 20%; potted/no fertiliser 30%; potted + fertiliser 2.5%. Of the small diameter plugs planted in 1981, after 4 years, other than 2.5% survival in the potted/unfertilized treatment, all had died.
