Relationship of Filled Seed Set and Pounds of Cleaned Seed Yield per Bushel of Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex. Laws) Cones in the Southwest.

A cone and seed study of ponderosa pine (Pines ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws. and P. ponderosa var. scopulorum) showed good correlations between filled seed set counts, filled seeds per cone, and pounds of seed yield per bushel of cones. In this study, the term filled seed set refers to half the number of gametophyte-filled cut seeds exposed on both faces of a cone that has been cut along its longitudinal axis.
