Growth, Crown Form and Fusiform Rust Resistance in Open-pollinated Slash Pine Progenies

Their program was devoted to selection and progeny testing among the four major species of southern pines. Field plantings were made first in 1952 with open-pollinated progenies from individual selected trees and establishment continued until 1957. During this period a large number of tests were established of both open-pollinated and control-pollinated progenies. The properties of the Foundation lie north of the natural range of slash pine, but several plantations 15 years of age or younger were available and selections from these plantations were the patents used in the slash pine tests.
