Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) occurs over a wide geographic area, is genetically variable, and offers good opportunities for genetic gain through selection and breeding. Genetic gain will be realized through increased growth and survival in new plantations established with seedlings from improved seed. Growth of improved stock will depend upon good culture--a prerequisite for plantation establishment. Large, healthy nursery stock, good site preparation, and careful handling and planting will be necessary. Superior genetic material cannot overcome poor culture, nor can good culture overcome poor genetics.
