Abstract: 【Objective】 Select Eucalytpus hybrids that are adapted to north of Guangdong Province and other cool areas in southern China. 【Method】 Using ANOVA and BLUP to estimate the heterosis, breeding values, SCA(specific combining ability)and GCA(general combining ability)of various traits. We assessed 97 controled-pollination families, 15 open-pollination families and two clones from the Lianshan Forest Farm of Guangdong, China. 【Result】 There were significant differences in growth traits among tested families. The SV(average single-tree volume)values of the controled-pollination families including of No. 101, 14 and 74 exceeded the highest 0.191 4 m3 value of No. 103 open-pollination family, and the SV values of 17 controled-pollination families, 288 trees exceeded the SV value of DH3229 control clone in the trials. There were 40 controled-pollination families that exceeded the overall average SV value in trial, and their SV value had 25.78% heterosis more than average value of 15 parents, 4.18% heterosis more than the same of clones'. The breeding value of 13 controled-pollination hybrids, including No. 101, 14 and 74, reached 0.02, and their phenotype values exhibited the same trend. 【Conclusion】 According to the GCA and SCA values analyzed, three females RT04(E. camaldulensis), D2(E. dunnii), and U64(E. urophylla), and five males KX10(E. grandis), 2B(E. benthamii), D17(E. dunnii), KX5(E. grandis)and DX19(E. grandis)could be used as elite parents for future breeding programs, and the superior families, including E. dunnii × camaldulensis, E. urophylla ×(E. urophylla × tereticornis), and E. urophylla × globulus, could be used as cloning materials, owing to their high SCA values(>0.05)and 50% relative effect SCAs.
