Jones, John R. 1975. A southwestern mixed conifer plantation-case history and observations. USDA For. Serv. Res. Pap. RM-148, 8 p. Rocky Mt. For. and Range Exp. Stn., Fort Collins, Colo. 80521 Ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir, and two lots of blue spruce were planted on clearcuttings in east-central Arizona at about 9,200 ft elevation. The Douglas-fir and one lot of blue spruce were markedly inferior planting stock. After five growing seasons, survival and condition of the inferior planting stock were very poor. Many ponderosa pines were girdled during a meadow mouse outbreak, but on south slopes most of the survivors were vigorous. Survival and growth of blue spruce from good planting stock were good on northfacing slopes, but considerably poorer on south slopes. Management implications are discussed.

“…Recommendations concerning seedling size and quality for the Southwest (Schubert et al 1969) appear to be valid for the Black Hills as well. They suggest using seedlings with a vigorous top of 4 to 6 inches, root-collar diameter of at least 0.16 inch, and a well-developed root system of 8 to 10 inches ( fig.…”

timber or a railroad tie. Persistent harvesting, coupled with the destructive impacts of wildfire, insects, diseases, and wind, have nearly eliminated the original old-growth sawtimber stands on upwards of one-half of the commercial forest acres in the Black Hills, and left only light stands of scattered old-growth remnants on the bulk of the remaining acreage. Despite these massive withdrawals, however, growing stock capital has not been depleted. On the contrary, it has increased steadily in recent decades to unprecedented levels. Total annual increment of merchantable wood, forestwide, has also increased until it is now roughly equal to the average annual cut during the 21 years of unhampered forest exploitation which preceded establishment of the Reserve (USDA-USDI 1967). It is equally remarkable, after all this harvest activity, that only about 1 percent of the commercial forest acres in the Black Hills are currently classed as inadequately stocked for timber production. The important implication of these facts seems clear: the old-growth pine forest of the Black Hills has been converted-with uncommon success and completeness-to a wellstocked and manageable second-growth forest. Furthermore, the conversion has been accomplished with no large or prolonged falldown in forest productivity. These facts provide convincing evidence of the feasibility of successful timber crop culture in Black Hills ponderosa pine, on a sustained basis. All that is needed is sufficient managerial skill and silvicultural know-how. PURPOSE OF PAPER This Paper is an attempt to bring together in a single reference most of what is known about silviculture of ponderosa pine in the Black Hills. The Paper is intended specifically as a field guide for professional foresters who are responsible for prescribing and supervising the application of silvicultural treatments in the woods. It attempts to describe (1) all of the major silvicultural conditions, or problem situations, that the field practitioner is likely to encounter, (2) the treatment options that reasonably, may be exercised in each particular situation, and (3) the probable results and practical implications of the various options-insofar as they are predictable-to help the silviculturist choose the option which will come closest to satisfying established management l

Results from many studies of ponderosa pine regenerationseeding, planting, and naturalover the past 15 yr on several areas on and near the Beaver Creek watershed in central Arizona indicate that seeding offers little hope of success. The failure of direct seeding is attributed to seasonal drought intensified by clay soils and competing vegetation. Tree planting has been consistently more successful. Although this report discusses research involving pesticides, such research does not imply that the pesticide has been registered or recommended for the use studied. Registration is necessary before any pesticide can be recommended. If not handled or applied properly, pesticides can be injurious to humans, domestic animals, desirable plants, fish, and wildlife. Always read and follow thê ;3*6s4**/J^d irections on the pesticide container.
