Abstract
Population of a species growing in different ambience may show differential germination and seedling growth efficiencies, therefore a consideration of seed provenance is essential for a successful restoration effort. Experiment was conducted to examine, how seed size effect the seed germination and seedling growth of a temperate tree species (Tilonj oak: Quercus floribunda). The seeds were categorized in different categories on the basis of their length, width and weight. Germination percentage, germination rate and mean daily germination showed maximum value in large seed size class (S 5 ). Germination and initial seedling growth are often curb by seed size in many tree species. Different size of seeds having different levels of starch and other food storage may be one factor that influences the expression of germination and growth of the plants.
