Growing Interior Spruce (Sx) Somatic Seedlings in the Nursery

Our Extension Services (ES) nursery started growing interior spruce (Sx) somatic seedlings in 1994, This was part of a larger program that would grow and test various clones in the nursery and out in the field. To-date, with the cooperation of Kendal Thomas (Woodmere Nursery, Fairview, Alberta), Chris Hawkins (UNBC, Prince George, B.C.) and a number of other ministry and industry partners, there are in the order of 30 demonstration sites and 33 research sites planted in the Prince George and Cariboo Forest Regions, The field goals of this project are to test and demonstrate the performance of the various clones produced over the range of biogeoclimatic zones they may be planted in. There have been a number of other nurseries involved from time to time, but we will only report on what we have found at Extension Services.
