Genotypic, phenotypic and environmental inter-character correlation coefficients analysed for seven growth characters on twelve clones at eight year age. Genotypic correlation coefficients were in general higher than phenotypic correlations. Diameter, height, clear bole length crown length and crown width showed positive and significant correlation with over and under bark tree volume. Diameter and height showed positive and significant correlation with each other.
