The effect of different seed sources was studied on germination, survival and early seedling growth of Populus ciliata. The study revealed that seed sources had statistically significant effects on seed germination and seedling growth. Germination percentage was positively and significantly correlated with shoot length, root length, total seedling length, vigour index and number of leaves/seedling. There was a significant but negative correlation between latitude and shoot length, root length, vigour index and number of leaves/seedling. The germination and vigour index was positively and significantly correlated with altitude. Therefore, the seeds from the source with lower latitude and higher altitude should be collected.
