Title: Initial growth performance of ten woody medicinal tree species in eastern coastal belt of Bangladesh. Journal of Bioscience and Agriculture Research, 11(01), 930-935.

Abstract: Two trials were conducted to assess the site-suitability and growth performance of ten woody medicinal tree species planted in the year of 2014 and 2015 at two different sites namely Bogachater of Sitakundu upazilla and Bamansunder of Mirershorai upazilla under Chittagong district (eastern coastal belt). Data on survival, height, collar diameter, dbh, stem length and number of branch were recorded from 02 years and 01 year old two trial plantations. In Bogachater site, the result revealed that the highest survival was recorded for Terminalia catappa (89%) followed by Terminalia arjuna (78%), Azadirachta indica (70%), Terminalia belerica (66%) and Anthocephalus chinensis (64%). The highest height was recorded for Acacia catechu (3.06m) followed by A. chinensis (2.63m), Bombax ceiba (1.93m), T. arjuna (1.89 m) and T. catappa (1.82m). The highest collar diameter was found in A. chinensis (5.93cm) followed by A. catechu (4.97cm), T. arjuna (4.27cm), B. ceiba (4.23cm) and T. catappa (3.12cm) at the age of two years. In the Bamansunder site, the highest survival was recorded for T. arjuna (88%) followed by B. ceiba (78%), T. catappa (74%), T. belerica (68%) and A. chinensis (60%). The highest height was recorded for B. ceiba (0.99m) followed by A. catechu (0.94m) T. arjuna (0.93m) and A. chinensis (0.92m). Considering the survival, height and diameter growth, T. arjuna, A. chinensis, B. ceiba, T. catappa and A. catechu were found promising and may be suitable for planting in the raised lands of the eastern coastal belt of Bangladesh.
