Tree Breeding

The application of genetic principles to the genetic improvement and management of forest trees. A typical forest tree breeding program starts with selection of superior phenotypes (plus trees) in a natural or planted forest. This improves the genotypes somewhat. Offspring is obtained from selected trees and grown in test plantations. Based on such tests the best genotypes among the parents can be selected. Selected trees are multiplied by grafting and seed orchards are established.
