Cedar forest is the most complex and dynamic formation of the Siberian Taiga. It clearly demonstrates the processes of natural regeneration dynamics sustainability space-time structure and biodiversity of Siberian forests (Drozdov and Grishenkov 2003). Within its range Siberian stone pine grows in various environmental conditions including high mountains and marshland which led to the formation of various ecotypes forms biotypes that has been created by nature for centuries (Nikolaeva and Savchuk 2013). Much attention is currently being paid to biological and seed productivity of cedar cultures depending on their geographical origin (Bratilova and Kalinin 2012 Matveeva et al 2012 Dragavcev 2008). This study involved research on the growth of the Siberian cedar pine (Pinus sibirica Du Tour) in the process of artificial plantation formation. In order to develop methods for the genetic evaluation of plant structures and search for indicators patterns of growth for 100 model trees were analyzed in the experimental population.
