Abstract
This study was carried out to determine seedling characteristics of some Pistacia species at Gaziantep ecological condition in 1998.
The seeds of Pistacia vera L.(cv. Kirmizi), Pistacia khinjuk Stocks, Pistacia terebinthus L., Pistacia atlantica Desf., UCB#1 and PGwere used as material. The diameter growth of trunk and height of the seedlings and budding success were investigated.
The best seedling growthwas measured on the Pistacia vera (cv. Kirmizi) at the first period (first four months).The best diameter growth of trunk was occurred on UCB#1 andfollowed byPG, Pistacia vera (cv. Kirmizi), Pistacia khinjuk Stocks, Pistacia terebinthus L. and Pistacia atlantica Desf. respectively at the end of the vegetation period. The highest seedling height was obtained from theseedlings of UCB#1 and followed by the seedlings of Pistacia vera L. (cv. Kirmizi), PG, Pistacia atlantica, Pistacia terebinthus L., Pistacia khinjuk Stocks.
The budding success were occured on Pistacia atlantica Desf., Pistacia vera L.(cv. Kirmizi), PG and followed by Pistacia terebinthus L. and Pistacia khinjuk Stocks.
