Geographic Variation of Growth and Wood Properties in Japanese Larch in Southwestern Lower Michigan

Growth and wood characteristics at age 10 from planting were assessed on the 22 seedlots of Japanese larch outplanted in the Kellogg Forest, Augusta, Michigan using a randomized complete block design. Results did not indicate any geographic trends for most traits studied but did suggest the operation of genetic drift and inbreeding. Fast growing seedlots continued to perform well in southwestern Lower Michigan. Recommends that seed for plantings in the Lake States area should be from the Mt. Nantai area in the northeast species range.
