Tree improvement research
Open pollinated seed from five clones was sown in both pure" plots (clones kept separate) or "random" plots (a random sowing of all five clones together) . Average root collar diameter of 1-0 seedlings varied by clone and sowing method. For clones with seed that germinated rapidly, random sowing produced larger seedlings than pure sowing. But for clones with seed that germinated slowly, pure sowing produced larger seedlings than random sowing.
