Plus tree selection is the first step to improve production and quality in forestry. An individual-based method is widely used to select plus trees for timber production, timber form, freedom from diseases and insects. In this study, a method to select plus trees for flower production is described and named as a crown-area-based method. Both individual-based and crown-area-based methods were used to select plus trees for Camellia impressinervis, a golden camellia; its yellow flowers have been

Flower production of 21 concerned individuals was compared to the population mean and it was generated as a percentage. The population mean of the individual-based method is the mean of production of 21 trees as mean production/tree. While population mean of the crown-area-based method is mean production/m2 crown area (first production/m2 crown area for each tree was generated, then mean for population). The results indicated that both methods show seven individual trees with flower production >100% population mean. However, individual trees are different. Only five of 7 trees are the same in both methods. The tree rankings by flower production percentage in both methods are totally different. The highest ranking by individual-based method (310% mean) is 4th ranking by crown-area-based method (181% mean). While the highest ranking by crown-area-based method (270% mean) is third ranking by individual-based method (260% mean). It is concluded that crown-area-based method is better in selecting plus trees for flower purpose, as it considers the crown area which is known as a productive part of a tree to form flowers.
