After various greenhouse and shade-house culture treatments, dormant 15-month old containerized white pine seedlings were outplanted on a disked, old-field. Natural photoperiod in the greenhouse produced a significant height response after the first field growing season and the large container produced the largest diameter after five years. Deer browse was a problem in the third year, causing stem deformation and significant reductions in height and diameter through year five. Limited stem form recovery occurred by year five but growth of non-browsed seedlings continued to exceed all others.
