S.P. Kuzmin, N.A. Kuzmina, E.A. Vaganov Growth Dynamics of Scots Pine in Provenance Trial Plantations // Forest Science (Lesovedenie). 2013. No 1. С.30-38.

The dynamics of height and diameter increments were shown in 30-year-old model trees in provenance trial plantations. The maximum height increment in pine trees from northern regions was revealed at their age of 17-20 years; they continued to grow up to an age of 30 years. The pine posterity from southern parts of the range forms the maximum increment earlier by several years, but for a short time period. The age of the formation of radial maximum increment in the climatypes investigated is identical, but the duration of this period in northern pine is longer.
