Seed source variation in Quercus leucotrichophora and Q. glauca using 13 and 8 seed sources of the two species, respectively was investigated. The study reveals significant differences for germination and survival per cent amongst the investigated seed sources of both the species but fail to differentiate significantly amongst the seed sources for growth traits at the nursery stage.
