Plantations of this species, however, have often proved unsatisfactory (2). and in South Carolina there have been numerous failures.' In an effort to discover whether seed source origin had an influence on survival and subsequent growth. Arizona cypress seed was collected from 26 source areas in Texas and Arizona in May and June 1970 (figure 1). The seedlings were grown in 1972 at the St. George. S.C., Coastal Nursery of the S.C. State Forestry Commission.
