In vitro establishment, shoot multiplication, and rooting of Pinus strobus, Pseudotsuga menziesii, and Thuja occidentalis 'Hetz Wintergreen'

Tissue culture propagation or micropropagation is an important new technology used to clone herbaceous and woody angiosperm plants. This technology would have great potential if it could be applied to mature conifers. The research objectives of this study were to improve disinfestation, axillary shoot proliferation and in vitro rooting of Pinus strobus (white pine), Pseudotsuga menziesii (Douglas fir) and Thuja occidentalis 'Hetz Wintergreen'.
