David South writes: I have been invited to give a talk in Canada on July 5th. The talk is entitled "Integrating vegetation management and nursery practices." I have a number of examples from studies around the world to show that planting large-diameter stock without intensive site preparation (eg. herbaceous weed control with herbicides) can be as beneficial as planting small-diameter stock without intensive site preparation. What I need is some examples from Canada. I will use examples from the following two references, but does anyone know of other references from CANADA that suggest "Large stock without site treatment may be a feasible alternative to small stock plus site treatment (McMinn 1982)?" If you know of such, please e-mail the references to me. THANKS R.G. McMinn. Size of container-grown seedlings should be matched to site conditions. 1982. P.307-312. in Proc. Canadian Containerized Tree Seedling Symposium. COJFRC Symposium O-P-10. Interaction of Stock type and site with three coniferous species. 1989?
