NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre 10.5285/b98e92cf-6ff5-42e2-8053-021ea04db01c This dataset contains phenotypic data on Scots pine cones and seeds sampled from individual trees in a long-term common garden trial. For each tree, overall cone counts were conducted and five cones were sampled in February 2024. Seventeen phenotypic traits were measured for each cone between June and July 2024. Traits include cone length, cone width, cone dry weight, scale length, scale width, scale count, stalk length, profile and colour, seed number and mean seed weight.

It contains trees from 8 families (where a family comprises individuals grown from seed sampled from a single common tree) from each of 21 Scottish pinewoods and is arranged into four complete randomised blocks (see supporting document for reference). Over four days in February 2024, cone number was measured as a count of all visible cones on the south-facing side of each tree. Then, five cones were sampled from each tree for trait measurement. Cone length, cone width, cone dry weight, scale length, scale width, scale count, stalk length, profile, colour, seed number and mean seed weight were all recorded for every cone. Cone ratio (cone width / length) and seed viability (number of filled seeds / number of empty seeds) were also recorded.
