Masters Theses
The objective of this study was to develop cost models for the production of flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) cultivars from budded seedlings and from rooted cuttings in Tennessee. Production data was gathered from Middle Tennessee nurserymen. Model production systems were synthesized, capital requirements identified and cost of production estimated.
Total cost of a four to six-foot flowering dogwood cultivar produced from a budded seedling was $5.47. Total cost of a four to six-foot flowering dogwood cultivar produced from a rooted cutting was $7.35. Major factors contributing to the higher cost of dogwoods grown from rooted cuttings were the …
