A proposal for the development of a land race of Sitka spruce in Newfoundland

Results from a 20-year-old series of exotic Sitka spruce provenance trials in western Newfoundland were analysed. The average performance of the Sitka spruce over nine locations was poor, but some trees grew faster than the native black spruce on three of the sites. A land race may be in the early s...
