Methodology for Propagation and Growth of Shagbark Hickory (Carya ovata) in a Commercial Tree Nursery

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the propagating and growing methods of Carya ovata to increase its success in both the nursery and the urban landscapes. During this two-year study, propagation rates, root control techniques, and shade tolerances were tested to see if differential survival and growth could be attained.
