Full shade resulted in the greatest height, stem diameter, RDW, and SDW for Cherokee Brave™, and improved overall growth for ‘Cherokee Princess’. 15 containers had greater plant height, stem diameter, root dry weight (RDW), and SDW. In 2015, plant height was greatest with full shade for both cultivars, whereas stem diameter and shoot dry weight (SDW) were greatest in full shade for Cherokee Brave™. 15) containers and assigned to the same four shade treatments. 7 containers and the other half were transplanted to 50-L (no. In 2016, one-half of the plants remained in no. 7) containers and placed under shade for 0 months (full sun), 2 months (sun4/shade2), 4 months (sun2/shade4), or 6 months (full shade) during the growing season. In 2015, bare-root liners were transplanted to 23-L (no. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of container size and shade duration on growth of flowering dogwood cultivars Cherokee Brave™ and Cherokee Princess from bare-root liners.
Container-grown flowering dogwood can grow much faster than field-grown plants, thus shortening the production cycle, yet unacceptable crop loss and reduced quality continue to be major issues with container-grown plants.
Flowering dogwood ( Cornus florida) is a valuable nursery product typically produced as a field-grown crop.
