Resumo: 	Geostatistics evaluates the spatial dependence between two or more variables in order to estimate unknown values in space. The objective of this study was to evaluate, using geostatistical techniques, the spatial variability of dendrometric characteristics for a commercial plantation of Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla located  in eastern Minas Gerais, Brazil (19º28’ S and 42º49’ W). The diameter at breast height (DBH) and commercial height (H) of 60 trees was measured in a forest inventory plot at two, five and seven years old. The volume of each tree in the plot was estimated from allometric equations and values of DBH and H. Spatial dependence of the three dendrometric variables at different ages was evaluated by fitting the experimental semivariogram. Validation of the semivariograms was performed using the jackknife test. The dendrometric variables analyzed presented normal distribution throughout the entire production cycle according to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The spherical model adequately represented the spatial distribution of dendrometric characteristics for the planted forest. The dendrometric characteristics of the analyzed plantation had an average spatial dependence, making the use of geostatistical techniques for characterization of the plantation very important.
