===Summer planting with fresh-lifted stock===
Conceptually and logistically, the simplest way of extending the conventional planting season is to extend lifting and planting of fresh stock through summer until the planting program has been competed. Summer planting has also been successful in a number of research studies with white spruce, e.g., Crossley 1956;<ref name="cross">Crossley, D.I. 1956.
