Abstract: The seeds of Phoebe zhennan collected from 71 superior individual plants of 15 provenances were sowed by way of container seedling raising. Research work was designed by random blocks and repeated 3 times. Such indexes of different provenances as the height, ground diameter, aboveground biomass and underground biomass of seedlings were studied through variance analysis and multiple comparison method. The results indicated that the seedling height and ground diameter growth of different provenances had a significant difference. There was great difference in individual biomass and the biomass ratio between the underground part and the aboveground part of the different provenances. Through comprehensive evaluation, provenances 7,10,1,2 and 4 performed excellently.
