Genetic Variation Among Open-Pollinated Progeny of Eastern Cottonwood

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Improvement programs in eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr.) are most frequently designed to produce genetically superior clones for direct commercial use. This paper describes a progeny test to assess genetic variability on which selection might be based.
