Abstract
Several new developments are noted since publication of “Porsild spruce in Canada” in The Forestry Chronicle in January 2013. Firstly, Porsild spruce has been found in northeastern Quebec. Secondly, although researchers were unaware of the fact until now, the Porsild spruce phenotype has been found to be a common component in the New Brunswick tree improvement program’s second-generation seed orchard in support of reforestation. Thirdly, a wild tree discovered in New Brunswick displays morphological features of Engelmann spruce and, based on observed similarities between Yukon Beringia Porsild spruce phenotypes and the accepted Engelmann spruce phenotype, it is possible that the New Brunswick Engelmann spruce tree was derived from the local Porsild spruce population.
