Seed Orchard Management
Papers pertaining to seed orchard establishment and management have been presented to this group for the past several years, e. g., Marler (1969),Vande Linde (1969), and Goddard (1967). These authors have discussed vegetative propagation, spacing, number, position, and isolation of clones within the orchard, and various cultural measures necessary to achieve acceptable tree growth and cone and seed production. Nothing would be gained by rehashing their conclusions, of which we are all in general agreement. Therefore,I shall restrict the contents of this paper to the most recent and most pertinent measures for increasing the production of seed orchards and to the colossal job of harvesting the seed. Thoughts are also presented on establishing and managing second-generation and two-clone seed orchards which are integral parts of present-day tree improvement programs.
