The resource and silvicultural contexts of oak tree improvement in North America are described briefly, and the methods, species, locations, and objectives of specific projects are summarized. Brief descriptions are provided of two projects that differ markedly in scope. Past experience suggests that few of the existing projects will ultimately be successful unless project leaders take deliberate steps to transfer genetic gains from seed orchard to operational plantations.
