Indiana's Program of Tree Seed Betterment

In 1960, the Indiana Division of Forestry became interested in starting seed production areas for obtaining seed of some of the hardwood species grown in the state nurseries of Indiana. During this year several young stands of yellow-poplar, northern red oak, and black walnut were selected on the MorganMonroe State Forest at Martinsville, Indiana . In 1961, with the help of Gus Limstrom and Bryan Clark of the Central States Forest Experiment Station, the stands to become seed production areas were selected. At the same time, trees were selected in these stands to be retained for future seed production.
