After four months of observation, tree lean, caliper and root volume were analyzed, and results showed no association between planting depth and occurrence of windthrow. A lower proportion of trees required staking when planted at greater depth of soil. Species-specific associations between planting depth and root volume and caliper were observed, and these findings can help inform standard nursery practices.enPlanting DepthPot-in-Pot ProductionWorking Paper
