Abstract

SYNOPSIS A statistical analysis of the growth data of three young blackwood provenance trials, consisting of 12 different provenances, is presented. The trials were established in different forest regions in South Africa. The indications are that on all test sites the Mt Sabine (Vic.), Natal (RSA) and Smithton (Tasm.) provenances were among the five best and the Collingwood River (Tasm.), Stawell (Vic.) and Tallaganda (NSW) provenances were the worst. The Orbost (Vic.) provenance was second in the trials in the Cape forest regions, but was below average in the Transvaal trial.
