DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Genetics of Lodgepole Pine Lodgepole pine is a small tree, and only recently has it been heavily utilized in its native range. In northwestern Europe, however, the ability of some seed sources to grow well on poor sites and in cold climates has interested foresters for many years, and the species is now widely planted in the British Isles and Sweden. The oldest fossils of lodgepole pine are several million years old, but there is no evidence that the species was widespread until the late Pleistocene. It was an important pioneer following glacial melting, and occupied its extensive northern range by migration from the south and possibly from far-northern refugia. Lodgepole pine has been successfully crossed with only two other species: jack pine and Virginia pine. Crossability with jack pine is moderately high, and the two species hybridize naturally in Canada. Many northern Rocky Moun tain stands have jack pine-like characteristics, but the extent of introgression from jack pine is uncertain. Lodgepole x jack hybrids are fertile, but pollen abortion is sometimes high. Hybrids of Sierra Nevada parentage have not grown well in most other environments.
