Improvement Work With Eastern White Pine in the Northeast

We sent out about 50 questionnaires, requesting information (covering eastern white pine and exotic white pines) on improvement work including racial studies; individual tree selection for blister rust and weevil resistance; growth rate; timber form; breeding work, including one-parent progeny tests, controlled intraspecific breeding and species hybridization; vegetative propagation by cuttage, graftage, and air-layering; and information on any other research related to the genetic improvement of white pine.
