Abstract The different genotype response to fertilization varies greatly for tree growth. Therefore, the selection of superior genotypes and the optimal fertilization formula are important measures for cultivation of high-yielding forest. In this study, 30 hybrid clones of Betula platyphylla with supply different doses of formulated fertilization were used. Height, DBH (or ground diameter), and volume were recorded in 2-, 4-, and 5-year-old trees. Results showed that there were significant effects for clone, fertilization and age (P
