complete blocks. Each block included a plot of three to five trees for each rootstock. Tree survival was monitored at 2 months after planting (June 2000) and at the end of the trial (July 2004). Tree circumference was measured at 1 and 3 years after

three annual applications of glyphosate from 1995 to 1999. z At the end of year 4, treatments involving application of glyphosate (12 total applications) to tree trunks had not negatively impacted tree survival or TCSA ( Table 1 ). Data

various rootstocks and tree survival at age 10 years. z Field trials. The commercial field site (lat. 27°27′13.46″; long. 80°33′58.83″; elevation, 7.3 m) was located west of Fort Pierce, FL, and had been planted with citrus that was removed about 1 year

approach is the need for large quantities of water. In some areas, water is limited, which has stimulated research to identify the minimum amount required to maintain tree survival ( Bourgeois and Adams, 1987 ; Bourgeois et al., 1990 ; Braud et al., 1981

absence of an economical and fail-safe means of freeze protection relegated the plant to dooryard and small-scale commercial production throughout most of the 20th century. Bourgeois et al. (1990) demonstrated tree survival of satsumas during the 1989

, most fruit began to look more like fruit typical of trees grown from mature buds. Juice content and quality of the first crops were generally commercially acceptable. Tree survival was essentially 100% with a few exceptions explained in the discussion

trees are dug, balled and burlapped conifers can appear mineral-deficient and unhealthy. Previous studies have examined the effects of nursery production practices on tree survival and stress resistance in the landscape ( Ferrini et al., 2000 ; Gilman
