Progress and Problems in Forest Tree Selection

The following paper will be limited to forest tree selection in the southern United States, keeping the discussion within the framework of this meeting. Although most of the forest tree improvement work in the South has been done with pines, the discussion will not be restricted to them but will include hardwood species as well, which present many problems of their own. Since Dr. Stonecypher covered the topic of second-generation selection thoroughly, I will concentrate on first-generation selection.
