The selection of planting stock is a critical step in the reforesta-tion planning process. In addition to selecting the proper seed source and species for the planting site, consideration must be made for the type of planting stock which will be used. The survival and growth potential of various classes of seedlings is basic to the evaluation of the specific properties of each type in relation to adaptation to local site conditions. This study provides both specific and general information for a range of seedling types. Several stock types were evaluated in two separate investiga-tions. Comparisons of first-year survival were made for nine different stock types including wildlings on two differently-prepared sites near Eddyville, Oregon. A five-year analysis of growth and survival was conducted for transplant, seedling, and container-grown Douglas-fir seedlings on many different sites on International Pape
