Five-year results indicate that ridge-planting is effective in reforesting poorly-drained land in the Morgan Arborteum. White, red, black, and Norway spruce and white pine showed significantly better survival and growth on ridges than in control planting. Norway and black spruce and white pine were the most successful. White spruce and red spruce survived well, but grew slowly.
