Ph.D. 1978 Mississippi State University

Christmas tree research, primarily with Fraser fir, Leyland cypress, and various Abies species. Areas of interest include postharvest physiology and handling, cultural practices, grafting, environmental effects, propagation, nutrition, growth regulators, water relations, seed germination, and stress physiology. Other research interests include wetlands restoration, and nursery production of Atlantic white cedar and baldcypress.
