Abstract

Natural variation and degree of genetic control over existing variation are important factors which must be considered when selecting characteristics to emphasize in a tree improvement program. The study discussed in this manuscript was carried out as part of a previously described tree improvement program (EINSPAHR and BENSON, 1964). The objectives of this study were to increase existing knowledge of the natural variation of wood, fiber, and growth characteristics and accumulate data needed for establishing base lines for judging growth and "wood quality" of quaking aspen.
