Concurrent experiments were carried out under natural conditions in the nursery and 2 different temperature regimes in growth chambers. Decapitation had no effect on the number of buds becoming active but usually increased both the proportion of active buds forming branches and the number of branches produced during each flush. More branches were formed during the first flush of growth but the largest effect of decapitation occurred during the second flush. There were significant differences between clones but the clonal order of branchiness varied between flushes and treatment. Lower temperatures reduced the rate of shoot development but had only small effects on the length of new leading shoot and the proportion of buds becoming branches. The significance of these results for the selection of oaks with different branching patterns is discussed. Quercus petraea I clone bud branching Resume Une evaluation de la decapitation comme methode de selection clonale de Quer-cus petraea Matt Liebl présentant differentes intensités de branchaison. Les effets produits par la decapitation sur la ramification observée sur 5 clones de chêne ont été étudiés au cours des 2 vagues de croissance se produisant en une saison. Des experiences sent effectuees simultanément en pépinière dans des conditions naturelies et en laboratoire en ayant recours à 2 regimes de temperatures differents. La decapitation n affecte en rien le nombre des bourgeons devenant actifs tableau III alors qu elle augmente .
