Abstract

Within a wider tree domestication programme, the purpose of this study was to quantify the tree-to-tree variation in fruit traits as an aid to plus- tree selection. Detailed measurements of 10 fruit traits for 24 fruits from each of 200 Dacryodes edulis trees were made from four villages in the humid lowlands of Cameroon. Highly significant (p
