Abstract

This research was carried out to determine the effect of site condition on maple seedling growth and resistant traits in nursery. Seeds of 11 collection sites were planted in a nursery named Orimalek at 1550 meter altitude. The experiment was performed in completely randomized block design with three replications. Survival of seedlings after warm and cold season was recorded. Seedling height and collar diameter were measured in the end of autumn. The results showed significant differences between sites for seedling survival and height growth except for seedlings collar diameter. Seedlings from higher altitudes showed higher winter hardiness, while height growth was higher in those from lower altitudes. Winter hardiness and seedling height showed to be the most heritable traits, respectively.
