A greenhouse study was conducted to observe early patterns of shoot growth, root elongation, and leaf area growth of rooted leafy tip cuttings of 4 Populus clones of varied growth rate. Clones differed in total plant dry weight, dry weight distribution among plant parts, and estimated net assimilation rate (NAR) after 5 weeks growth. Rapidly growing clones had more root weight per unit leaf area and greater rates of root elongation after transplanting compared with a very slowly growing clone, suggesting better potential water balance and drought avoidance, at least in early growth.
