1 Availability varies from year to year and within any given year.
2 Growth form and height will vary with conditions.
3 Typical DOT/PF sites will tend to produce shorter and more bunchy stands of these species.
4 Region of Use: W = Western Alaska; I = Interior Alaska; SE = Southeast Alaska; SC = Southcentral Alaska; SW = Southwest Alaska; A = Arctic Alaska; All = All of Alaska.
5 Category ratings (from Revegetation Suggestions Chart) often reflect availability. Availability is subject to change and this will in the future cause many category 3 selections to be raised to 2 or even 1.
