3 ), we observe that growth was consistently higher for outcrossed than selfed plants in five families (mother trees n° S4, S95, S116, S160, S194) and nearly so in two additional ones (n° S158, S165), while there was no difference for one of them (n° S109) and even a slight trend of higher performances of selfed plants in two families (n° S89, S146).
