In developing new breeding programs for genetically improved eastern hardwoods, administrative decision making will involve three major areas. Correct species selection is essential; a quantitative ranking system is presented to help evaluate critical characteristics. Programs must be strongly research oriented, with well defined scope and products. Silvicultural systems and genetic improvement should be closely related to capitalize on possibilities for increasing total forest benefits.
