Abstract: The present study was confined to five natural populations of Harar (Terminalia chebula Retz) distributed in Hamirpur district of Himachal Pradesh. In every natural population 5 quadrats of 20 x 20 m (400 m²) size were laid down randomly to study the regeneration status along with percentage size class (girth class) occurrence of Harar trees. Most of the individuals in these populations were found to be almost of the same size producing flowers and fruits but no seedlings had been successfully established showing complete absence of natural regeneration of Harar (recruits, un-established or established) within its natural populations. However recruits of Harar were found in some agricultural fields of Naraina and recruits, un-established and established regeneration was found in grassland in the buffer zone of natural population in Pahlu.
