Knowledge of the genetic variation of key economic traits in Eucalyptus globulus under cold conditions is crucial to the genetic improvement of environmental tolerances and other economic traits. A Bayesian analysis of genetic parameters for quantitative traits was carried out in 37 E. globulus open-pollinated families under cold conditions in southern Chile. The trial is located in the Andean foothills, in the Province of Bio-Bio. The Bayesian approach was performed using Gibbs sampling algorithm. Multi-trait linear and threshold models were fitted to phenotypic data (growth traits, survival, and stem straightness). Fifteen years after planting, height, diameter at breast height, and stem volume were found to be weakly to moderately heritable with Bayesian credible intervals (probability of 90 %): = 0.009-0.102, = 0.031-0.185, and = 0.045-0.205, respectively. Stem straightness was found to be weakly to moderately heritable ranging from 0.032 to 0.208 (Bayesian 90 % credible interval); posterior mode = 0.091. Tree survival at age of 15 years was high in the trial (84.8 %) with such heritability values ranging from 0.072 to 0.157. Survival was non-significantly genetically correlated to growth and stem straightness. Stem volume had the highest predicted genetic gains ranging from 17.9 to 23.7 % (selection rate of 15.8 and 8.3 %, respectively). The results of this study confirm the potential for selective breeding of this eucalypt in areas of southern Chile where cold is a significant constraint.
