Preliminary Selection of Eastern Cottonwood Clones


The Southern Forest Experiment Station is identifying fast-growing clones of eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr.) both to meet growing demands for genetically improved planting stock and to obtain a base population for future breeding experiments. We have completed a series of preliminary seedling and clonal tests and have gathered early data from some long-term clonal tests. This paper reports responses to extensive preliminary screening and outlines preliminary screening techniques we plan to use in the future.
