Figure 1. Transfer distance maps for two loblolly pine families, one from SC Coastal Plain (left) and another from SC Piedmont (right). The isotherm line at 0 indicates the origins of the family. There is little risk of cold damage if planting the family within the -5 isotherm, but risk increases rapidly farther north/inland.
