Enrichment of vegetation cover of watersheds is one of the important objectives along with long term policies of the state for natural resources. In this connection, afforestation without the participation of people will not gain any success. Multipurpose tree planting helps to conserve soil and water, and can be a suitable policy to enhance the participation of people. In this experiment five genotypes of almond and a wild pistachio species were selected during the nursery phase, and they were planted under rainfed condition, on eastern, western, and southern aspects, using randomized complete blocks design. Variables including survival, collar diameter, height, and crown diameter were studied. Results showed that there is a significant difference between treatments at the point view of collar diameter and height of trees at probability level α= 5% and crown cover at α= 1% in 2006. Planting of two almond genotypes 3 and 6 on western aspects, considering the superiority of their growth attributes might be recommended.
