WBWilliam D. BoyerSESarah E. Evans

Key Points

  • One seed source accounted for 71% of female flowers in longleaf pines, revealing a significant flowering pattern.
  • Only one seed source bore flowers each year for three consecutive years, highlighting its unique reproductive success.
  • Analysis was conducted on 10-year-old longleaf pines from 11 seed sources planted at two locations.
  • Findings suggest certain seed sources may accelerate flowering, indicating important implications for forestry practices.

Abstract

Abstract Trees of one seed source produced 71 percent of the female flowers counted on 10-year-old longleaf pines from 11 seed sources planted at two locations in southwest Alabama. According to cone counts, this same source was the only one to bear flowers in all three preceding years.
