Abstract
The relationship between percent water loss and storage survival of bare-root hardy perennials was investigated.
Freshly harvested bare-root perennials were packed in burlap, cardboard, cellophane, perforated polyethylene or polyethylene and were stored at -2°C for four or six months.
Weight loss and regrowth quality were measured for all plant material following storage.
Water loss varied from nearly 0% to 60% based on the difference between initial and final fresh weights.
The results revealed a significant inverse linear relationship between water loss and regrowth quality (r2 > 0.90 in all cases). Models were developed which predict regrowth quality based on measured transpiration rates and these results.
