Mount Papandayan area has historically experienced deforestation due to mountain eruptions, tree felling, land transfer, and forest fires. Reforestasi efforts have been carried out by the community and local authorities, but still not maximal. To maximize the reforestasi efforts, it is necessary to know the characteristics of local tree species in Mount Papandayan. An understanding of the character of this tree can be used as a consideration for the selection of tree species for reforestation activities. Therefore, this study aims to examine the regeneration-related character of local tree species in Mount Papandayan. The types of characters studied follow the species selection approach for forest restoration schemes using the Framework Species approach, namely phenology (flowering time, fruit time, fruit type), dispersal mechanism, ability to recover after being disturbed (resprouting ability) and growth (wood density and growth rate). Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the research was conducted using literature study methods. The list of tree species studied is derived from the report of plant community studies that have been conducted in Mount Papandayan, while the character of the species is identified / estimated based on the study of more than 200 libraries.From the results of the analysis of tree character, a number of species are selected suitable for restoration, namely having a high growth rate, low wood density, resprouting ability, as well as the availability of information on the mechanism of distribution and phenology. The study was conducted on 60 species of trees found on Mount Papandayan. From the phenologic aspect of flowering time, there are three species that flower six times a year. Furthermore, there is one species that bears fruit seven times a year. The dominant types of fruit are drupe and berries. Based on the characteristics of resprouting ability, there are 36 species that have resprouting ability. The dominant breeding mechanism of species is mediated by animals (zoochory). Estimates of the growth rate of trees show a growth rate of 0.016 m /year, the lowest wood density is 325 kg m-3.
