Abstract
The progeny trials of Scots pine founded in Järvselja Training and Experimental Forest District in 1967 and 1968 by E. Pihelgas were analysed to estimate the dependence of progeny growth variables on mother tree or mother stand origin and age. Our progeny data set consists of 4622 DBH and 486 height measurements of the 41- and 42-year-old progeny trials. In 2008 and in 1995 all trees of the progeny trial were callipered and height of nine sample trees was measured on each plot. The analysis was carried out with the SAS/GLM procedure. It was proved that height of inland-originated progeny stands was significantly higher than height of progeny stands originated from maritime regions. Plus-tree progeny stands exceeded single tree and mixture-of-seeds progeny stands in height, diameter, basal area and volume.
