Abstract

After 3 years in the field, survival, date of shoot growth initiation, and total height of 15 provenances planted at three locations indicate moderate to large provenances effects. Relative provenance performance varied among locations for survival and total height but not for flushing date. Regression and correlation analyses indicated that both the temperature and moisture regimes at seed origin have acted as selective forces on the native population. Time of shoot growth initiation has been mainly influenced by the temperature regime, while total height was generally related to the moisture regime. Survival was not associated with any of the climatic variables used in the study.
