Abstract

A forester faces many problems in selecting the proper seed source of ponderosa pine. He wants a seed source well adapted to all of the conditions of his planting site–one that can tolerate all of the extremes of heat, cold, and drought; that can resist the ravages of insects, diseases, and animals; that can produce the most of the desired product in the shortest time.
