Abstract: Provenance variation in seedandseed ling attributes of Quercus glauca Thunb. was investigated. Significant differences were obtained in morphological and seedling attributes with populations. Altitude of seedsource showedsignificant inverse correlation with seedlength, seedweight andseed ling weight. But altitude showedsignificant positive correlation with percentage germination androot collar diameter of seedlings. Significant positive correlation between seed weight and seedling weight was also observed.

Additional key words: Glaucous-leaf Oak, altitude, seed mass, morphological variation
