Planting Depth of Hybrid Poplar Cuttings Influences Number of Shoots

Reports that planting unrooted hybrid poplar cuttings flush with the soil surface resulted in significantly fewer multiple-stem shoots compared to letting the cutting protrude 2.5 or 5.0 cm above the soil surface. There were no significant effects on shoot height growth or cutting mortality. 1991 This article is in PDF format (file size: 431 kb).
