Fifteen-year measurements were taken on. he C Z families i n 1981, and they are

Stimson Lumber has established a progeny test for Sunday Creek with 4 plantations
from a 1981 sowing. Bureau of Land Management and Publishers Paper plan to sow in 1984 for the southeast
area, which had little coverage in the original program.
Seed Orchards:
Two seedling seed orchard blocks were started in 1974 from single­
pair matings of the original 909 parents made in 1971, 1973, and 1974.

Progeny Testing:
Progeny-test sowing was in spring in 1969 at bare-root IFA Canby
All 9 test plantations were established with 2-0 seedlings in the spring

of 1971.
Ten-year measurements were taken after 1978 growing season, and 15-year
will be due in the fall of 1983.
Genetic variation is shown to be large both within and between local populations.
Faster growing parents have been selected, crossed, and used to upgrade the several
seed orchards.
Seed Orchards:
Single-pair matings of parent trees between 1971 and 1974 resulted
in establishment of 2 seedling seed orchard blocks in 1976 -- one by CZ on 7 acres
at Eola Hills Seed Orchard, and the other on a 14-acre block at Ed Schroeder Seed
Orchard for the other 3 cooperators.
First production for latter was 20 bushels of
c-0nes in 1980, with a minor crop of 9 bushels in 1982.
Clone Banks:
Grafting on potted stock was done in the spring of 1981 for 2 clone
banks of about 120 superior parent trees.
CZ grafted at Wilsonville for their
clone bank, and IFA grafted at Nisqually for a clone bank of 6 acres established
in 1982 al: the Ed· Schroeder Seed· Orchard.
