Abstract:In this paper, the growth difference analysis, correlation analysis and growth dynamic analysis were carried out based on the growth data of 12-year-old interspecific hybrid progeny test of Liriodendron chinense. The results showed that the average DBH, tree height and volume of trees were 23.3 cm, 14.50 m and 0.229 m3, respectively. The correlation coefficients of DBH, tree height and volume were 0.903, 0.911 and 0.914 respectively between 6th year and 8th year after afforestation, indicating that early selection had high reliability. The rapid growth period of the hybrid progeny test was at 2~8 year. Quantitative maturity of DBH and tree height were at 8th and 9th year, at this time, the volume growth still maintained a high level, and the growth matured quantitatively later than 11th years.
