The purpose of this study was to deepen our understanding of the field performance of micro- and macro-propagated Eucalyptus grandis x nitens (GN), in comparison with seed-propagated E. grandis and E. nitens. The emphasis was on the relationship between root characteristics (hydraulics, anchorage efficiency) and above-ground parameters (survival, leaf gas exchange). Cold-tolerant GN clones are planted across low-productivity, high altitude sites in South Africa.
