An Evaluation of Southern Appalachian White Pine (Pinus strobus L.) Origins in Southern Illinois

Half-sib progenies from 74 trees in 26 stands were evaluated at nine years of age from seed. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences between stands and families within stands for height, diameter, and foliage color. Families were chosen for sawlog/pulpwood and Christmas tree/ ornamental categories by using selection intensity.
