Family Differences in Early Growth and Wood Specific Gravity of American Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis)

As part of a selection project to create strains for use under intensive culture, 64 wind-pollinated families were planted in an 8x8 triple lattice twice design using 4-tree square plots at a spacing of 4x4 feet. The plantation was clear-cut at the end of the fourth growing season to reveal family differences in sprout regrowth.
