Seed matters 7 : lodgepole pine cone classes and impacts on seed quality

Description

This trial was conducted by ATISC to identify any large differences in seed quality between newer older lodgepole pine cones. This included germination tests on fresh seed and also estimates of storage times and use for seeding by performing artificial ageing tests. The results may be used to support the alteration of lodgepole pine cone collection practices in the future and help to ensure higher quality seed lots going forward, resulting in longer use times and lower costs to industry.
