Survival, total height, diameter at breast height (d.b.h.), and stem quality of sugar maple trees of different provenances were compared 25 years after establishment in north-central West Virginia. Provenances were from Michigan, Minnesota, West Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and Quebec, Canada. There were significant differences between provenances for all traits except stem quality. By provenance; total tree height ranged from about 49 to 37 feet; d.b.h. from 6.7 to 3.6 inches; and survival from 100 to 15 percent. The predictability of total tree height 25 years after establishment based on mean provenance height at age 2, 6, 10, and 15 years is discussed. Results suggest that juvenile height growth may be a good predictor of mature height performance, thus decreasing the need for rotation-length trials.

S2Past attempts to establish sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) by planting have generally met with little success. The failures have been blamed mainly on competition by other vegetation and on damage done by animals. Finding an effective way to establish sugar maple seedlings is a key part in the research being carried on in Vermont by the USDA Forest Service to develop superior sugar maples for producing sap and sugar. In 1964 we began a small planting study with sugar maple seedling to evaluate several methods of weed control and protection from animals. The results indicated that black plastic film used as mulch provides excellent weed control for as long as 4 years, and increases growth significantly. However, the protective treatments we tried (an animal repellent and wire screens) were not entirely effective; so the full potential of the black plastic mulch treatment was masked by damage done by repeated deer browsing.
