Effect of Nursery Production Method on Tree Establishment In Urban Sites

In recent years nurserymen have become increasingly aware of the advantages offered by container-grown nursery stock especially when planting time is limited, when planting during the growing season or transplanting to adverse sites. However, in Italy, little research has been done on the infl uence of different nursery techniques on the performance of trees planted in urban sites; the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of two different nursery production methods on tree performance after transplanting in the urban landscape.
