Effects of different pot types on shoot and root growth and biomass allocation were evaluated in nursery cultivation of Quercus robur L. and Juglans regia L. We compared two containers currently used in Italian forest nurseries (ISSA-pot®; Plastecnic®) and two alternative types (Superoots Air-pot®; Tubex®); different pot sizes were also included: two for ISSA-pot and Plastecnic; four for Air-pot. Container configuration differentially affected the studied species: shoot and root system development of walnut seedlings was more limited by pot diameter than depth. Q. robur had improved shoot and root system development when grown in Tubex.

Abstract
Effects of different pot types on shoot and root growth and biomass allocation were evaluated in nursery cultivation of Quercus robur L. and Juglans regia L. We compared two containers currently used in Italian forest nurseries (ISSA-pot®; Plastecnic®) and two alternative types (Superoots Air-pot®; Tubex®); different pot sizes were also included: two for ISSA-pot and Plastecnic; four for Air-pot. Container configuration differentially affected the studied species: shoot and root system development of walnut seedlings was more limited by pot diameter than depth. Q. robur had improved shoot and root system development when grown in Tubex.
