Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 27,1971 —
The buyers guide provides pre
cise infoimation to help Christ
mas tiee growers match seed
ling size and genetic qualities to
the requirements of their own
planting sites, stated Dr. Henry
D Gerhold of Pennsylvania State
University.
“We anticipate that the cost o£
this guide will be reflected m
somewhat higher prices for nur
sery stock but probably not in
the prices consumers pay for
Christmas trees, - ’ he stated.
“The quality of Cluistmas
trees should bs improved greatly
by this project,” he added.
The guide contains data regar
ding ] 5 Scotch pine listings from
nursenes and three Douglas fir
listings, Dr Gerhold said The
guide also descubes physical
charade: istics of Christmas tiee
seedlings—age, heignt, and cal
ipei—to indicate how well each
variety is suited foi survival and
gionth on specific sites
Genetic quality is included, Dr.
Gerhold pointed out, based on
potentials for giowth rate,
density and shape, and needle
color Predictions are made for
suitable planting sites in Penn
sylvania and neaiby states.
Data for the guide will be ob
tained each September and Oct
ober by specialists in forest gen
etics, he explained Each parti
cipating nursery is visited, seed
documents are checked, and gen
etic identity of each variety is
verified by checking character
istics in nursery beds. Measure
ments are made for later statis
tical analysis. If the genetic
identity or physical condition of
a variety seems questionable or
undesirable, it is eliminated from
the guide.
The Pennsylvania Tree Im
provement Foundation is spon
sored jointly by the Pennsyl
vania Christmas Tree Growers
Association and the School of
Forest Resources at Penn State.
Cooperating on the project at
Penn State is Edgar H Palpant,
