Female-Strobilus Production in a Slash Pine Seed Orchard Following Branch Pruning
The utility of pruning to control the size and shape of seed orchard trees has been studied at our laboratory for a number of years. Our first experiment involved nonclonal material, and was not very informative because of the extreme variation in response among trees. More recently,one of our group began a pruning experiment in a slash pine clonal orchard. Female-strobilus production was studied during the first year following pruning; the results are reported here.
