Applying Forest Tree Improvement Practices in the Lake States: Production of Quality Wood
We do not have any high-powered forest geneticists at the Forest Products Laboratory. Our job, as we see it, is somewhat different; it is to work closely with the geneticists, so that wood quality receives the consideration it deserves in the whole field of forest genetics. We take the position that there is no justification for spending a lot of time and money to develop "elite" trees that produce wood which may have little or no value in the market place.
