Container Hybrid Pines Survive on a Harsh Dam Site

The scar left after the construction of Trinity Dam in northern California is an extremely harsh site. It was successfully revegetated by planting and fertilizing containerized seedlings of a knobcone x Monterey pine hybrid (Pinus attenuata x Pinus radiata). Fertilization at the time of planting increased the growth of seedlings, but also made them more susceptible to injury from deer and late-season frost. Tree Planters' Notes 41(1):8-14; 1990.
