We investigated the high yield capacity of Hwangchil lacquer for selection and identification of major aromatic components of the selected trees as well. The Hwangchil lacquer showed the difference yields by different habitat, tree ages and individual character. The selected trees showed high yield capacity of Hwangchil lacquer. We also investigated the essential oil contents and its the main components to analysis the potent of mass propagation. The major compounds were 1,6-atadiene-3-ol., ${\alpha}-terpinene,\;{\alpha}-cubebene,\;{\alpha}-ylangene,\;{\alpha}-copane,\;{\beta}-elemene,\;germacrene-D,\;{\beta}-selinene,\;{\alpha}-selinene,\;{\delta}-cadinene,{\gamma}-cardinene$, germacrene B, germacrene D-4-ol. The most principle component was germacrene D among them respectively. However, the difference of relative content ratio of each major compound was showed by individuals, population and native areas in the selected trees.
