Results from Ten Loblolly Pine Provenance Tests in Tennessee
Ten seed source tests of loblolly pine in Tennessee (Table 1) were measured and analyzed for growth characteristics during 1969 and 1970. The provenance tests were evaluated to determine from which locations within the species range superior phenotypes should be selected for establishment of seed orchards of loblolly pine in Tennessee. In addition, five needle characteristics were studied to determine if needle variation follows regional patterns.
