The study was conducted in the years (2021-2022) To study the environment, productivity, and propagation of the turkey oak in its locations in the Kanfu region of Hama Governorate, with the aim of knowing the effect of turkey oak seed size on germination rates and seedling growth indicators. Seeds were collected from the Kanfu area, and the experiment was implemented in the Al-Ghab (Tahunet Al-Halawa) and Masyaf (Tair Jumla) areas in Hama Governorate. The results showed that seeds of all sizes in the two sites achieved good germination rates ranging between 75% - 97%, and that seed size affects the characteristics of seedlings. Larger seeds produce stronger seedlings. The study also showed a similarity in values when it comes to location in terms of growth indicators, without significant differences, with a preference for the Tayr Jamla location. The ratio of root shoot length to vegetative shoot length R/S is greater than one in all treatments, which is a positive factor. Regarding the results of the soil analysis, it was found that the soil of the Kanfu site is brackish, light alkaline, and has a good potash content. The seed analysis was rich in iron, with a percentage of 55.20%. Through studying the accompanying species on the site, it was revealed that there is a diversity of plants that play a major role in biodiversity because of their medicinal and aromatic benefits. X The results of the measurements on the Kanfu site also showed that the Basal area and Volume gave the highest value in the second sample, as it reached 0.91 𝑚2 and 12.72 𝑚3, respectively.
