Development and Use of Juvenile-Mature Correlations in a Black Walnut Tree Improvement Program

Cross section discs were cut at predetermined intervals from 19 black walnut trees. Growth rings on each disc were measured. Diameter, height and volume at various ages were determined by stem analysis. Character used for early selection should have the high juvenile - mature correlations. The earliest age for selection should maximize the product of the juvenile mature correlation and the selection differential at that age.
