Abstract
Stecklings have been the major propagule type for the reforestation of yellow-cedar [Chamaecyparis nootkatensis (D. Don) Spach] over the past 15 years in British Columbia. Over 70% of the planting stock since 1975 has been Stecklings, and currently, one-half to three-quarters of a million Stecklings are planted annually.
