Abstract:Abstracts:Two family experimental plantations of 5-year-old and 5-repeat and 130-family Schima superba were investigated on the aspects of diameter at breast height (DBH),crown breadth,straight degree,first class branch,maximum crotch angle,clear bole height,maximum branch thick,number of fork stems,and height of fork stems,in Dongfeng Town and Fangdao Town,Jian’ou,Fujian Province.The superior fast growth families and superior individuals were selected by Analysis of Variance.The results showed that there were significant difference or very significant difference among the families.32 superior families were selected based on average diameter,average height and straight degree.7 top families were selected based for the average individual volume was more than 0.005 9 cubic metres and the average straight degree was more than 3.The criteria for superior individual was that its volume of the individual was more than 0.012 0 cubic metres, and it had no fork stem,and its straight degree was more than 3,and its crown breadth was less than 2 meters,and its maximum crotch angle was less than 65 degree as the superior one and then 19 superior individuals among the 7 top families were selected.
