Studies were carried out in amla (Emblica officinalis Gaertn.) to trace the variation in seed and seedling quality characteristics owing to the position of fruit within the branch. The results revealed that fruits collected from the posterior end of the branch was superior in seed and seedling quality characters in terms of germination, root length, shoot length, dry matter production, vigour index, per cent seed filling and 100 seed weight. This is followed by middle portion of branch and fruits in seed quality parameters.
