This analysis examines genetic variances in traits of Scotch pine across locations and ages, revealing family and environmental influences.

Significant variances were found in ornamental traits of Scotch pine families across locations and ages.
Location effects on traits often exceeded family effects, especially for characteristics like needle color and length.
Genetic control was notably higher for needle characteristics compared to height and branching habits.
Replication in space and time is crucial for trait improvement and testing scheme design.

Schrum et al. (1975) studied this question.
