Abstract:

These data were collected from three red oak (Quercus rubra) progeny trial plantations managed by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station, Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center (HTIRC). Open-pollinated seeds from 92 red oak families were germinated and grown at the Vallonia Nursery in Indiana. In 2007 and 2008 these seedlings were planted on three plantations (referred to as 115, 117, and 119 in the HTIRC database) in Tippecanoe county, Indiana on property owned by Purdue University. Trees were planted 8 feet apart in alternating rows with bur oak, which was removed at age 9. Data obtained between fall of 2017 and spring 2018, after 11 or 12 growing seasons (including 1 year in nursery), include height, diameter, branch angle, number of branches below 1 inch in diameter, sweep, and presence of a 12 foot log without serious defect. Traits except height and diameter were rated categorically.
