Presented study compares of the performance of Scots pine plantations established with container−grown and bare−root seedlings. Silvicultural assessment was based on the comparison of survival rate, defect differentiation as well as height and diameter growth of plants depending on the type of the planting material used for renewal. Results show faster growth of the container−grown plants but their slightly lower survival rate. The economic evaluation was based on the comparison of total costs of establishing and managing both types of plantations depending on the initial density.
