Quantifying genetic variation in needle retention and timing of bud flush in Balsam Fir Christmas Trees for improved performance under climate change in the northeast
Sixty phenotypically superior balsam fir trees (twenty each from Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia) will be tested for needle keepability at each of two locations and at two collection periods in both 2020 and 2021. The same trees will be monitored for timing of bud flush and the correlation between the time of bud flush and needle retention obtained. The effect(s) of rootstock and tree age on timing of bud flush and needle keepability will also be determined for trees in a clonal orchard in New Brunswick.
