Abstract:

This data publication contains a collection of growth data from a young longleaf pine plantation on the Palustris Experimental Forest in central Louisiana where the seedlings started life in six different types of containers. Container treatments included 3 cavity sizes (small, medium, and large) and 2 different cavity coatings (with and without copper oxychoride coating). Seedlings were planted in the spring of 2004 in the six different containers and maintained in a greenhouse until November 2004, when 64 seedlings were planted into each of 24 plots at 2 x 2 meter (m) spacing at the Palustris Experimental Forest. Height and diameters at breast height were assessed at the end of each year from 2005 through 2013, and then again in 2019. Lean of stem from a vertical position was also recorded from 2009-2013.
