    In the sago plantation, high production plants are preferred, and then the selections of seedlings are done to sustain the productivity. This paper reports a study of the correlation between some of the vegetative characters with the productivity of sago palms. This study aims to determine the characters of the marker assisted selection of sago with high productivity. The twenty-five morphological and agronomic characters of spiny and spineless sago were analyzed. The result showed that several characters were correlated to each other and one of the characters is the color of shoot sago seedlings were positively correlated with length of trunk and number of leaflets. The color of shoot sago seedlings thought to be a selection marker of superior sago in the future.
