The seeds were collected from a community plantation in Padang Tiji District. The growth par ameters measured were seedling height, stem diamete r, leaf area, fresh weight of seedlings, dry weight of seedlings, root length, root number, and root weig ht. Measurements were made at 30, 45, 60 and 75 days af ter planting. Analysis of variance and least significant difference tests were used to analyze t he growth data.
