At one of the two independent sites, the model we developed produced highly significant correlations between predicted values and observed height data (YA, height 2020: r = 0.376, p < 0.001).

The lack of predictive ability in the final predictive model for growth in the independent trial at YA for trees in their first year of growth suggests that maternal effects may be significant in these trees, but that the effect has diminished by age 13 when the predictive ability was very good.
