An Evaluation of Growth and Form in 5-year-old Open-pollinated Progeny from Selected Loblolly Pine

Five year old open pollinated progeny of six loblolly pines selected for outstanding quality were compared with progeny from rough, mostly open grown check trees. Comparisons were made of height, d. b. h. , limb length, limb diameter, limb angle and bole straightness. Progeny of two of the selections were no better than their respective checks in any of these characteristics. The remaining selected trees had progeny significantly better than checks in one or more characteristics but none were better in all characteristics.
