Fifteen additional clumps oi' <br />serviceberry were also transplanted and fertilized with MgAmp slovr- <br />release fertilizer at a rate of 1 lb per shrub. Eight of these were <br />transplanted dry and the remaining seven were transplanted and watered <br />in. "Watering in" consisted of pouring approximately 15 gallons of <br />water around the base of the transplant. This saturated the root-ball <br />and eliminated air pockets, thus increasing the amount of contact <br />between the root system and mineral soil. <br />Seven bitterbrush, three Oregon grape, and five rose were also <br />transplanted on October 27, 1975. These shrubs were bare-root trans- <br />planted as they did not have the fibrous root system required to hold <br />the soil in a root-ball. All the mature shrub transplants made in <br />1975 were severely pruned leaving at most 6 inches of stem remaining. <br />On May 26, 1976, more serviceberry were transplanted. Fifteen <br />of these shrubs were pruned the previous fall and 14 shrubs were spring- <br />pruned. Seven on the east end of each row were put in dry and the ._ <br />remaining shrubs in each row were watered in (Figure 9). <br />Finally, 15 serviceberry and 15 oak were transplanted on Wovember <br />2, 1976. All of these were pruned at the time of transplanting and <br />all were watered in. The mature transplants were evaluated for survival <br />and vigor on August 31, 1976; August 3, 1977; and August 31, 1978. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />
