Abstract

The growth and survival characteristics of Bombax ceiba L. (Bombacaceae) were studied to select outstanding plus trees. From 568 trees surveyed in and around Jabalpur, 9 could be marked as plus trees selected. The plus trees were found resistant to the attack of defoliator, termites and other parasites and also varied significantly in other physical parameters.
