In this study, the container seedlings of Phoebe chekiangensis were used as experimental materials. The Ground diameter and seedling height were used as grading indexes, and the mean ± standard deviation method and stepwise clustering method were used to carry out the research on the quality classification of annual seedlings. Found that the standard deviation method to calculate the grade I seedlings under the limit on the high side, stepwise clustering method to calculate grade Ⅱ seedling lower limit on the high side. The quality classification criteria of annual container seedling of Phoebe chekiangensis were determined comprehensively: the diameter of seedling field was above 0.24 cm, and the height of seedling was above 13.0 cm. The seedling diameter of grade II ranged from 0.15 cm to 0.24 cm, and the seedling height ranged from 8.0 cm to 13.0 cm. Grade I and II seedlings were qualified seedlings, and the control rate of qualified seedlings was close to 85%.
