Ontario researchers report a serious red pine seed shortage, with a plan to establish seed orchards. The Lands and Forests Department, University of Toronto, and Ontario Research Council study insect attacks at Sault Ste Marie and seed production in northwestern Ontario.

Progeny from selected trees are being grown in plantations and treated to boost seed production.
