Background Collaboration with INRA in Orleans French interest of Polish larch Common research planning Exchange genetic material and common breeding idea Difficulties: Different forestry priorities Different silvicultural approach Jan Kowalczyk
What is Polish larch? Morphological features Cones Tree form Distribution Growth character Polish European Jan Kowalczyk
Larch natural distribution Jan Kowalczyk
Methods Common collection in 1987 in Blizyn region Cons were collected from 157 trees in 4 stands Collected materials were divided between IBL and INRA First part of the stored seed were sown in Sękocin in year 1996. Experimental trails were established in spring 1998, in Central Poland Forest District Kutno. Two years bare root seedling were planted in spacing 2 by 2 meters. Second part of the seed were sown in the same nursery in Sękocin in 1998 y. In spring 2000 y. the second trial was established in forest district Zwierzyniec (Sought-east part of Poland) Jan Kowalczyk

Conclusions Jan Kowalczyk The more reliable evaluation will be possible after 15 and 20 years. Common for all plots evaluation is needed. The best families are: 115 and 26. The worst families on the trails in Kutno and Zwierzyniec are 69 and 66. Exist big genotype environment interaction in this experiment .
Final remarks and discussion Jan Kowalczyk The selected genotypes (families, clones) can be used in plantation forestry in Poland Natural crosses between Japanese, hybrids and Polish larch (also in seed orchard) How to protect valuable „natural” populations?
