Summary Half-sib progeny from ten selected Virginia pine trees were grown on two randomized blocks and harvested at age eight. The trees were divided into four components: foliage, branches, bolewood, and bolebark. The concentration of N, P, K, and Ca was determined for each component of each tree. The results were combined with dry matter distribution data to find the total content of each nutrient for each tree. Significant family effects were observed for Ca concentration in bolewood and Ca content in bolebark. Block effects were significant in many instances. An estimate of the total nutrient content of the above-ground portion of the stand was made for each block.
