	Hawkins et al.—Frost hardiness of Podocarpus totara
		Frost hardiness temperatures of the provenances ranged from -5°C to -10°C. A significant increase in frost damage occurred at lower temperatures, and the frost hardiness of the provenances was positively correlated with their altitude of origin.
		The possibility of allele frequency-dependent selection for alleles correlated with frost hardiness was explored by a preliminary isozyme analysis of four variable loci in new foliage of totara seedlings.
		These results suggest that environmental pressures have selected for frost hardiness in totara, and resulted in the evolution of populations of totara adapted to current local climates.
