This study aimed to evaluate the growth, wood properties, disease susceptibility, and sex traits of 1122 Populus deltoides clones to reveal the trait variability and correlations, providing a basis for genetic improvement and breeding. The measurements included the diameter at breast height (DBH), leaf area, basic wood density (BWD), content of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and disease susceptibility index (DSI). The coefficients of variation ranged 6.91%–41.96%, with the BWD showing the lowest variability. Significant sexual dimorphism was observed, with male clones exhibiting higher DBH and hemicellulose content, and female clones displaying larger leaf areas and greater phenotypic variability. Correlation analysis revealed that the leaf area was positively correlated with the BWD and hemicellulose, and it was negatively correlated with the DBH and lignin; lignin was negatively correlated with cellulose. PCA confirmed these relationships and additionally highlighted a positive correlation between the DSI and DBH. These findings established links between the growth traits and wood properties, enhancing our understanding of trait diversity in P. deltoides and providing insights for breeding strategies to develop high-quality, high-yielding cultivars.
