Tree Seed Working Group

W elcome back. I hope you enjoy our new electronic format and that it reached you painlessly. This News Bulletin will focus on hardwood seed and I’d like to thank everyone who contributed. Our next News Bulletin will focus on “Seed Orchard Practices” and we are looking forward to contributions from researchers and operational facilities on the practices they employ for effectively and eff iciently producing seed from selected parents.
