In this research, the effects of planting times (spring and summer) and 5 seedling types on seedling performance (survival, height, diameter, diameter increment and height increment) were investigated in Erzurum, Turkey. Seedling morphological parameters (height, diameter, shoot dry weight, root dry weight) were determined before planting, and it was found that they were affected by seedling types. Seedling type and planting time affected seedling performance in this semiarid site. Seedling survival and seedling height were the highest in spring planting. Seedling height and seedling root collar diameter were the highest in 2+0 containerized seedlings compared to 1+0 containerized seedlings or bareroot seedlings. It might be concluded that in this kind of semiarid areas 2+0 containerized seedlings might be planted in spring compared to autumn planting.
