Clonal Variation In Four-year-old Loblolly Pine In Coastal North Carolina

Four clonal field trials of loblolly pine rooted cuttings were established in coastal North Carolina during 1990 and 1991. From measurements of these trials, age four variance components as well as full-sib family and clonal best linear unbiased predictions (BLUPs) for height, diameter at breast height (DBH), wood specific gravity and branching characteristics were calculated via restricted maximum likelihood (REML) techniques.
