Yield and financial performance estimates of four elite loblolly pine seed sources planted in the Western Gulf Region

Abstract

Eastern seed sources of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) have been planted in the Western Gulf region for nearly three decades because they often have higher growth rates than local seed sources. However, productivity gains for eastern families are sometimes offset by poorer survival rates relative to local families.
