Abstract
Survival, growth, and insect and disease damage of 54 hybrid poplar clones were compared in a three-year-old genetic selection field trial located in the St Lawrence River Valley, near Massena, New York, USA. Clones were grouped into growth potential classes using cluster analysis and indices of total growth and canker severity. Statistical significance of growth potential classes was tested using discriminant analysis. Seven of the 54 clones examined (DN16, NM6, NE17, D51, DN38, DN55 and NE21) were recommended for additional evaluations in larger scale clone-site trials. The technique presented in this report facilitates hardwood clone performance evaluation for a wide variety of desired products.
