Tree breeding and propagation publications

NZDFI's tree breeding programme is described in detail in NZDFI's strategy documents, the Our Science section of this website, and in our Project Update newsletters.

Propagation work is led by Proseed NZ, a founding partner of NZDFI and Australasia's biggest tree seed supplier. Propagation activities are well-documented in our Project Update newsletters.
