Study on winter buds of twenty prominent Poplar clones viz., G3, G48, D121, D163, S7C1, S7C4, S7C8, S7C15, S7C20, PP5, L12, L14, L24, L34, L49, L52, Udai, Kranti, Bahar and P65, was carried out to identify different clones. Winter buds differ in shape, colour, bud apex, presence and absence of resinous exudation and shape of leaf scar. Study reveals that morphological markers are important to identify different Poplar clones.
