Chips of Quercus stellata and Ulmus pumila were used as components of container growth media for Pyracantha X Mojave and Liquidambar formosana. Both species grew at least as well in the wood chip media as in conventional pine bark medium. Micronutrients were of little benefit to plants in the oak chip medium but did increase plant growth in the elm chip medium. Drainable pore space decreased markedly during the growing season, indicating decomposition; however, roots appeared normal when the study ended. Adding N above the level generally used with a pine bark medium did not improve growth. 17 references.
