The critical importance of climate and site of seed origin to plantation success has been recognized in Canada for at least 60 years, yet it is only recently that strict controls over seed collection, registration, and distribution have been exercised in all provinces as a matter of course. The development of knowledge and understanding of underlying genetic variation and patterns of geoclimatic adaptation between and within planted tree species is reviewed, together with advances in application to operational forestation.
