Investigation on the planting stock influence on performance of Bauhinia variegata seedlings in degraded hill lands reveals that planting stock below 0.5 cm in collar diameter should not be selected for out planting. Best results are obtained with large sized (1.00-1.50 cm collar diameter) seedlings. Longer shoot (6 cm and above the collar) and unpruned root portion should be retained to afforest the degraded hill lands.
