ABSTRACT
Chalghoza pine (Pinus gerardiana) is an important forest cash crop, growing naturally in North-Western Himalayas and Suleman ranges of Pakistan. The chief value of the tree lies in its edible seeds. In order to bring chalghoza pine under clonal propagation at par with other fruit crops, efforts were made to graft scion-wood of this species on root stock of chir pine, which has proved successful. This paper presents results of two experiments conducted for the purpose.
