Location of cones in the crown and along shoots of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) and the influence of coning intensity and shoot size

Abstract: The location of female cones in the crowns of rooted cuttings and mature forest-grown trees of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) was recorded. When cones were allocated to crown sections there were clear patterns of bearing, with the majority of cones on second-order distal shoots on whorls 2 and 3. As total cone production increased, the bearing zone progressed onto more proximal shoots on upper whorls and distal shoots on lower whorls. On individual branches of clonal grafts, female cones tended … Show more

“…In contrast, horizontal shoot elongation at the branch tips expands the space for the arrangement of newly branched higher‐ordered shoots in the future (Bégin & Filion 1999). Horizontally elongating shoots produce reproductive organs through the newly branched shoots (Tosh & Powell 1991; Clarke & Malcolm 1998) and/or directly on the shoots themselves (Eis 1970; Powell 1977). Hence, in comparison with vertical shoot elongation, horizontal elongation contributes directly to reproduction in the upper part of the crown.…”
