the growth of nonirrigated trees in this critical phase of orchard establishment, which has the potential to affect their precocity. Thus, it appears that irrigation of young trees in this region may not always be necessary for tree survival but would

mulch or synthetic mulch mats have also been used to aid establishment of trees for afforestation and reforestation ( Samyn and DeVos, 2002 ; Walker and McLaughlin, 1989 ). Plastic mulch typically improves early tree survival and growth, although

testing of this line in an orchard having a history of PTSL and (or) infested with Armillaria root rot ( A. tabescens ) would be of interest to determine if tree survival is prolonged or otherwise altered. Literature Cited Batchelor, T

that under certain circumstances that carbohydrates are limiting, because they can be depleted to the point that tree survival is questionable ( Wood, 2001a ). However, in such circumstances it is unlikely that flower induction occurred and is therefore
