Growth Performance and Early Selection of Acacia melanoxylon Clones at Three Sites
The blackwood project team of Sino-Forest Co. Ltd. selected dozens of Acacia melanoxylon clones. The growth performance of A. melanoxylon clones was tested in three different sites (Heyuan and Gaoyao of Guangdong province, Baise of Guangxi province). Based on that, early selection was performed on those clones. The results showed that the clones growth varies depending on different sites. Under the 30% elimination rate, 13 to 14 clones were selected in each site, which height and DBH (diameter at breast height) in average were 10% to 48% higher than the others. Four clones (SR24, SR3, SR6 and SR22) appeared simultaneously in all three sites and seven clones (SR13, SR24, SR3, SR8, SR6,SR10 and SR22) had good growth performance in both sites of Guangdong.
