Hypodermic Needle to Aid Trees Growth
Scientists at the Institute of Forest Genetics in California use artificial mating, hypodermic needles, and X rays to breed faster growing timber. They cross breed trees to produce saw log sized timber in 25 years, half the time of a 50 year crop, at about one third the cost. Seeds inherit top traits from both parents, speeding growth and improving straightness of grain. Experimental seed changes aim to yield better trees through X ray exposure.
