N2  - The relationship between tension wood formation and growth ecentricity of leaning trunkc for four clones of Hevea brasiliensis (Tjir 1, GT 1, RRIM 600 and RRII 105) were studied. The growth eccentricity did not show consistent variation with respect to tree height. The leaning angle and proportion of tension wood were correlated for the clone RRII 105. For all the four clones the correlation between tree height and angle of lean was highly significant. Tree height and proportion of tension wood showed highly significant correaltion for RRIM 600. The relationship between angle of lean and growth eccentricity was significant for GT 1
