Justification for conserving the target species in the GCU

To conserve rare or endangered tree species with populations consisting of a low number of remaining individuals

To conserve specific adaptive and/or phenotypic traits in marginal or scattered tree populations which are often relatively small

to conserve specific adaptive and/or phenotypic traits in populations/ and races of introduced species

To maintain genetic diversity in large tree populations
