Georgia Sycamore Seed Sources in Mississippi Plantings: Site Adaptability a Key Factor

When seedlings from five sources along the Chattahoocheeand Apalachicola Rivers were planted on a moderately good river-bottom site in southern Mississippi, those from Coastal Plain sources leafed out earlier in spring and grew more rapidly than those from more northerly sources in the Piedmont and mountains. It was therefore inferred that sycamore foliation date is under strong genetic control.
