Study on nursery performance of selected clones of Poplar (Populus deltoids Marsh.) suggested that volume index, leaf area index and percent sprouting should be given greater consideration while carrying out selections amongst clones. Genotypic correlation were, in general higher than phenotypic correlation coefficients.
