Abstract: Pometia tomentosa is one kind of precious native timber tree species,which uniquely growes in Yunnan,and is one of the third-class protected plants of China. It also is the dominant tree species of tropical rain forest in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. Due to the massive harvesting, it is difficult to find wild resources of P. Tomentosa. In this paper,a description is given of the morphological and biological characteristics,and a discussion is made of the relevant techniques of seed collection,storage,cultivation of container seedlings and afforestation.
