Table 6 Multivariate analysis of height, terminal shoot length, and the number of flushes. Additive genetic correlations between traits are in the upper diagonal, family variances are in the diagonal, and co-heritability (\({r}_{A}{h}_{x}{h}_{y}\)) estimates are in the lower diagonal of the table. Tree height had a strong additive genetic correlation with terminal shoot length while the correlation with the number of flushes was moderate

From: Genetic relationships between terminal shoot length, number of flushes and height in a 4-year-old progeny test of Pinus brutia Ten.
