Abstract: The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the survival and rates of growth of trees in a four years old Cedrela odorata plantation in Southern Mexico. In Mexican tropical forest the rate of deforestation in this area exceeds 2 %. In the state of Campeche plantations amount 156 ha (125,480 trees) has been established from 2005 to 2007. In the Cristalina, Carmen, Campeche a plantation of Cedrela odorata amount 0.75 ha was established in this period. In 2009 the survival and growth of tress of 2, 3 and 4 years old were evaluated. From each parcel of 50x50 m2 30 trees were selected randomly to measure height, diameter and survival by year of plantation. The data were analyzed as random blocks with three replications. The survival rate was 43.7% for two years old and 47% for those of three years old and above. The growth average is from 3.24 to 7.27 m year-1 and the diameter increase from 3.58 to 13.13 cm year-1. From this data it is concluded that Cedrela odorata is adequate for reforestation.
