Evaluation of twelve clones of Populus deltoides at the age of 6 years, indicated significant differences among the clones for all the characters. High estimates of heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for diameter, height, crown length, crown width, number of branches, branch length and duration of leaf fall. Diameter, height, crown length, crown width, branch length and number of branches showed a positive and significant correlation among themselves.
