This M.Sc. thesis entitled "Morphological Characteristics of Kazdagi Fir (Abies equitrojani aschers et sinten) Seedlings Produced in Balikesir Forest Nursery" was carried out on of Kazdagi Fir which had restricted natural distribution to contribute for nursery practices of the species. Seedling height, root‐collar diameter, number of branches were examined in 0+2, 0+3 and 0+4 year of Kazdagi Fir sampled 100 seedlings from each age group in Balikesir Forest Nursery at the end of growing period of 2013. Seedling quality and relation among the characteristics were investigated.Averages of seedling height, root‐collar diameter, number of 0+2, 0+3 and 0+4 year seedlings were 20.4 cm, 27.3 cm and 37.8 cm; 8.2 mm, 8.9 mm and 10.9 mm, 5.1, 6.8 and 7.5, respectively.Most of the seedlings of both species were high quality classes in both quality classes of Turkish Standard Institute and new classification. The new classification was suitable for the seedlings according to results of Discriminant analysis.There were generally positive and significant (p≤0.05) relations among characters based on results of correlation analysis. Results of the study were discussed for nursery practice of the species. Keywords: Height, Seedling Quality, Seedling Age, Root‐Collar Diameter, Morphology.
