S ummary Three classes of non‐mycorrhizal forking secondary roots on young seedlings of Pinus radiata D. Don grown in solution are described and illustrated. Roots are distinguished on the basis of their pattern and degree of forking and the extent of elongation before and after forking. Both long and short roots exhibited forking in the absence of mycorrhizal development.
