0010001	seeds/cones		By far, the majority of forest and conservation tree seedlings are grown from seed, and most of this seed is collected from plants in the wild. Because seedlings must be genetically-adapted to the environment on the outplanting site, foresters insist on "source-identified" seed. Seed collected from a specific location in a particular year is called a "seed lot", and is identified by a numerical seed code. When the seed is sown, this seed code will identify the seedlings until they are shipped back to the same geographical location for outplanting.
0010002	seeds/cones		Sometimes, seed orchards are established to produce seed of trees that have been specially selected for fast growth or pest resistance. In this slide, seeds of western white pine (Pinus monticola) are being collected at the seed orchard at the Coeur d’ Alene Nursery in Idaho. This seed orchard was established using plant material selected for resistance to the white pine blister rust fungus (Cronartium ribicolae)
