1980. A pilot planting trial on a southwestern Idaho deer 

 winter range. USDA For. Serv. Res. Pap. INT-261, 13 p. 

 Intermt. For. and Range Exp. Stn. , Ogden, Utah 84401. 



The planting compared: (1) two browse species — antelope bitter- 

 brush (Purshia tvidentata [Pursh] DC.) and wedgeleaf ceanothus 

 (Ceanothus ouneatus [Hook.] Nutt.); (2) two planting methods — direct 

 seeding and transplanting; and (3) two bitterbrush seed sources — 

 southwestern Idaho and northwestern Nevada. Overall, the seeding 

 treatments had a sixth-year survival of 80 percent; transplanting 

 treatments had a sixth-year survival of 62 percent. Bitterbrush 

 from local seed sources, whether seeded or transplanted, outper- 

 formed other plants significantly in survival and nonsignif icantly 

 in height growth. 



KEYWORDS: Purshia tridentata (Pursh) DC, Ceanothus ouneatus 

 (Hook.) Nutt., seeding, transplanting, shrubs, site relations, 

 deer winter range.
