Screening early autumn frost hardiness among progenies from Norway spruce seed orchards.
Nursery grown Norway spruce ( (L.) H. Karst.) seedlings from 12 different seed orchards were tested for early autumn frost hardiness using artificial freezing tests. Seed orchards containing grafted parent clones originating from high altitudes produced seedlings showing higher damage tha...
