14—Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, December 5, 1964 Christmas Tree Hybrid Christmas trees grown to order, with ornaments at tached. They are a possibility now—not this Christmas nor the next; but in 1967 grow ers will receive young trees for field testing. The Christmas tree came to the Forest Service almost as a bonus from a long program of hybridization at the Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station’s Insti tute of Forest Genetics, Placerville, Calif. From Insti tute research, aimed primarily at better wood from faster growing trees, has now come a hybrid pine ideally suited for that bright spot in the house on Christmas morning. The hybrid—a cross between the Sierra Nevada lodgepole pine and the shore pine—grows fast, about 6 feet in 4 to 5 years.

The hybrid has a thick dark-green foliage and produces cones when it is 5 years old, the cones decorating the tree just as it reaches the right size for harvesting. Some of these desirable characteristics for Christmas tree production, combined in the hybrid, are lacking in each of the parent varieties. The institute’s scientists started work on producing the hybrid in quantity this year, in a cooperative project financed mostly by the Cali fornia Christmas Tree Grow ers, who will receive the trees in 1967 for transplanting.
