Forest Tree Seed Certification

"Perhaps we should start out with a little background concerning seed certification particularly in the Pacific Northwest. Not too many years ago seed was purchased, collected and used with some, but not too much, thought given as to the correlation of the use of seed with the seed source, and it soon became apparent that there were some mistakes being made. As the trees that were planted grew up, we found places where trees were dying. In looking back at what records were available, we found that trees were taken out of their native climates and moved to a climate that was more severe or different than where the parent trees grew and that was the only apparent cause for these trees to die and for their poor development.
