   Would someone please direct me to research that proves or
disproves the following statement.

" phenotypic "plus"  tree selections do not generally yield genetically
superior progeny."

I am looking into the question of "high grading."  It has
been said and seems intuitively correct that the practice of "cutting
the best and leaving the rest" will lead to genetic decline in the
offspring of "the rest."  True or false.
