Abstract
Cone and seed production, and quality of seeds obtained from a 65-year-old Jack Pine (Pinus divaricate (Ait.) Dumont) stand in the Québec Boreal Forest Region have been studied. Analyses carried out on 23 plots of 1/40 acre each numbering between 320 and 640 trees per acre indicate that : 1) sample plots of 330 to 490 stemps per acre produce the highest quantity of seeds; 2) production per acre is 33.2 bushels of cones and 9.6 pounds of seeds; 3) average production of full and viable seed is for dominant trees 15 and 10 respectively, and 5 and 3 for intermediate ones; 4) cones 3 years old or younger produce better quality seeds than older ones.
