Abstract

The number of year-old yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) seedlings grown from equal quantities of seed varies as much among individual seed trees within a stand as among stands of different geographic location. Moreover, production will vary from one year to another. This information was obtained from an experiment begun in the Central States in 1952 to study the effects of seed source on growth and development of yellow-poplar plantations.
