Abstract: The forestry sector in Brazil grows every year; therefore, in-depth studies on certain species become indispensable. One of the main forest genera of economic importance in Brazil is Eucalyptus. However, there are few studies on species adapted to regions of intense cold, with the occurrence of frosts, and that show good production. Thus, we aim to estimate genetic parameters in three cold-tolerant Eucalyptus progenies. After 45 days from sowing, the seedlings were repotted, individualized in plastic bags, beginning the measurements of height and diameter. After about 95 days, the seedlings were planted in the field, in a completely randomized experimental design........
