This study evaluates the influence of fertilisation during the initial year after planting on the survival and morphometric growth traits of one-year-old Paulownia elongata and Paulownia fortunei seedlings, aimed at assessing their adaptability for potential introduction to various sites in Serbia. Understanding fertilisation impacts on survival and growth parameters is essential for analysing indicators of species adaptability to specific soil types. Experimental plots were established at two distinct sites, Obrenovac and Pambukovica, where seedlings were monitored for key morphometric indicators: height, stem diameter at root collar, and leaf number. The morphometric data were statistically analysed, and findings indicated that fertilisation significantly enhanced all measured growth parameters in the first growing season. This suggests a positive effect of fertilisation on all analysed parameters.
