Abstract

Investigates genetic variation in drought hardiness traits and their genetic correlations with growth potential and recovery traits in 39 full-sib families of coastal Douglas-fir in southwestern British Columbia. Method; Traits assessed; Findings; Conclusion that potential exists for identifying drought-hardy families at the seedling stage and using this information for deployment or breeding purposes; Suggestion that drought hardiness could be improved without negatively impacting growth potential.
