Picea Omorika Is a Self-Fertile but Outcrossing Conifer. Kuittinen, H. & Savolainen, O. Heredity, 68(2):183–187, February, 1992. doi abstract bibtex Outcrossing rates were estimated in a natural Yugoslavian and in a cultivated Finnish population of Serbian spruce [Picea omorika (Pani) Purk.]. The outcrossing rates in the cultivated stand in two years were 0.98 0.03 and 1.02 0.04, and in the natural stand 0.84 0.05. The relative self-fertility was estimated in seven trees in the cultivated population. The results indicate high self-fertility, which agrees with the earlier information. The high self-fertility combined with high outcrossing rate shows that Serbian spruce, in contrast to most other conifers, employs other means than early acting inbreeding depression to avoid selfing.
