Chestnut Foundation, pers. comm.). Seedlings were propagated at
the Kentucky Division of Forestry’s Morgan County Nursery.
Nursery stock was planted within 2 weeks of lifting from the
planting beds. Diseased and poorly-formed individuals were
discarded, and the height, root collar diameter, and number of
first-order suberized lateral roots (2 mm proximal diameter)
were recorded for each seedling selected for planting.
