Tree form development was studied for eight deciduous broad-leaved species in young stage in the Tanzawa mountains, central Japan. Height growth, lateral growth, number of lateral shoots and leaf area were examined as the components of tree form. A negative relationship was found between height and lateral growth: species with high height growth show small lateral growth. The number of lateral shoots correlates negatively with leaf area, although the species with small leaf area tend to extend the range of the number of lateral shoots: species with large leaf area contain small number of lateral shoots to minimize leaf overlap. Those two relationships were superior to any other relationships such as height growth-number of lateral shoots, and lateral growth-number of lateral shoots etc
