Abstract
Danish tree breeder Ib Thulin and his coworkers John Miller, Geoff Sweet and Egon Larson had the task of establishing provenance trials of numerous species from around the world. Ib initiated the first steps of radiata pine breeding through plus-tree selection in Kaingaroa Forest and in planting the first clonal seed orchards. He focused on the local populations of radiata pine, which, it turned out, were a hybrid mix of the Monterey and Ano Nuevo Californian provenances. This was a fortunate choice as became apparent later.
