In the present study, we used data of growth traits, tree
stem straightness, pilodyn penetration, bark thickness, and
survival, to estimate: (1) differences among the 15 provenances
and (2) genetic parameters including heritabilities,
additive genetic coefficients of variation, and additive
genetic correlations between traits within and across-sites
in a base-population of five OP provenance/progeny trials of
E. viminalis. Additionally, this information will be used to
discuss the implications and selection strategies for genetic
tree improvement of E. viminalis in Argentina
