In the present study vessel morphological characteristics viz., vessel length, vessel area, vessel diameter and vessel frequency of ten different Candidate Plus Trees (CPTs) was studied. All the parameters were found to be significantly different during analysis. The average vessel length was found to be 618.9 μm, average vessel area 48351.41μm2, average vessel diameter 289.71μm and vessel frequency 2no./mm2 respectively. the data obtained in the present study will be helpful to establish a correlation between vessel morphology and matchwood quality. Also the vessel morphological relation can be obtained between CPTs and progenies in future.References
