Abstract:Toona ciliata is one kind of native precious fast-growing timber species in China. In order to study adaptability and growth differences of different T. ciliata provenances in Wuhan, the leaf traits of seedling stage and 6-year-old after afforestation stage, and different age growth traits of 4 different Toona ciliata Provenances were observed and analyzed. The results showed that the compound leaf length, compound leaf width, leaflet length, leaflet width and leaflet number, these 5 direct observed values of leaf traits of the same provenance in the forest stage were greater than those in the seedling stage. There were extremely significant differences in the 7 leaf traits among different provenances in the seedling stage, the 7 leaf traits included compound leaf length, compound leaf width, leaflet length, leaflet width and leaflet number, the ratio of compound leaf length-width, the ratio of leaflet length-width. In 6-year-old forest stage, there were extremely significant or significant differences in other traits among different provenances except the small leaf length trait. There were extremely significant differences in the growth values of different forest ages among different provenances, and the growth differences among different provenances increased with the increase of forest age. The rank of the 4 provenances based on the 6-year-old growth traits was LZ > WY > GS > JG. The results of correlation analysis showed that the correlation between leaf traits at seedling stage was more significant than that at 6-year-old forest stage. The correlation between most traits at 6-year-old forest stage was not significant except for a few traits.
