This study is a continuation of earlier work on apical dominance inTriplochiton scleroxylon K. Schum., aimed at the development of an early clonal selection test for branching habit and yield in tree improvement programmes. Decapitated plants of five to seven clones were treated with either: (i) ...

Bud activity of decapitated, nurserygrown plants of triplochiton scleroxylon in Nigeria: effect of light, temperature and humidity
Considerable clonal variation is reported in the size and form of the West African tree TripZochiton scleroxyZon K. SCHUM after four years of growth in plantations near Ibadan, Nigeria. At normal spacing (2.4 m) mean heights ranged from 5.9 m to 8.1 m, whilst at wide spacing (4.9 m) the range was...

Clonal variation in a four year old plantation of Triplochiton scleroxylon K. Schum. and its relation to the predictive test for branching habit
Clonal trials with the West African hardwood Triplochiton scleroxylon, K. SCHUM. have indicated a positive relationship between stem size (height and diameter) and branching frequency (mean no. of branches per m of mainstem). As part of a programme of vegetative propagation and clonal selection, ...
