Table 3 Descriptions of the seedlots in the 1987 silviculture-breeds experiment that were assessed in this study

From: Effects of site, silviculture and seedlot on wood density and estimated wood stiffness in radiata pine at mid-rotation

Seedlot	Breed	GF rating	GFPlus ratings¹
			Diameter	Stem form	Branching
3/3/85/01	Multinodal	GF14	17.5	19	21
6/3/86/46	Multinodal	GF21	21.2	21	23
9/3/86/166	Long Internode	LI28 (GF13)	17.7	18	1

¹GF Plus ratings are assigned by the Radiata Pine Breeding Company based on breeding values for traits of interest.
