Juvenile growth of provenances and open pollinated families of four Russian larch species ( Larix Mill.) in Swedish field tests
Abstract Four Russian larch species; ( Larix sukaczewii Dyl., L. sibirica Ledeb., L. gmelinii Rupr. and L. cajanderi Mayr.) were tested in combined provenance-progeny tests on three sites in Sweden. 29 provenances, two seed orchards and four seed stands-material were assessed for juvenile height gro...
