Grapes (Vitis vinifera), besides their medicinal and health importance, plays an important role in livelihood of poor populations living across mighty mountain ranges of Himalaya, Karakoram and Hindukush. Allometric study is necessary to understand quantitative correlations of tree growth. Hundred plant samples (n=100) from ten populations (N=10) were studied at an elevation of 1854 meters asl. Ten (N=10) different population studied revealed that mean leaf length is 10.9 cm (max. 13.4, min. 9.1 cm) followed by mean leaf width 8.4 cm (max. 9.3, min. 7.1 cm). total mean leaf area was 92.2 cm2 (max. 122.6, min. 70.9 cm2). Mean stem length recorded was 26.8 feet (max. 35, min. 16 feet) followed by mean stem width 8.44 cm (max. 12.8, min. 3.1 cm). one thousand seeds were measured and mean seed weight recorded was 0.043 mg (max. 0.047, min. 0.039). similarly mean weight of hundred (n=100) seeds recorded was 4.29 g. research was summarized with the fact that stem length grows 98.97% faster than its width increase. Which means 1 cm with increase corresponds almost 100 cm increase in length. Similarly, leaf length increase is 23% higher to its growth in width. Ignorance towards a rich varietal base is on erosion.
